I have an '03 TD4 five door with an intermittent problem with the tailgate window. Occasionally the window will not drop. When this happens it will not respond to the blipper, the dashboard switch or the tailgate door handle. There is no noise and no movement of the window. Consequently, the back door does not release. If you try to open the tailgate all that can be heard is one click from what I presume to be from a switch associated with the tailgate handle. When it is working OK, the window will respond to all three methods of opening and will lower and raise as it should do. By locking and unlocking the car it will sometimes cure itself. The other afternoon it failed when full of shopping and had to clamber through the rear seats. After a couple of hours of frutration I left it. Tried it a little later and all is OK again. The problem occured again for a period of 3 days and then corrected itself whilst driving. Whilst all was ok and I was able to open the tailgate door I have removed the trim. I have unplugged all the wiring bit by bit and squirted WD although all the connections looked OK. All is still working but what happens if I refit the trim---Is there anybody out there who can give advice? Thanks for looking.
