window not working

[jay26]

right iv done a search but came up with nothing

problem i am haveing is that drivers window will not work i was told it could be the switch so i used the passenger switch in the drivers handle on the loom and it popped a fuse when i tryed to put the window down so i dont think its the switch and now im stuckplease

sorry to hijack a little here, i have no power going to my drivers window switch, is this also something to do with the regulator or motor? i have read up on the the switches failing and regs breaking but i havent seen anythng on no power going to the switch, i have brought 2 new switches to.

easy check on these is what i did wiv mine. turn on ignition and interior light try the switch and if the light flickers the switch is receiving power and the problem is either the motor or reg. the only problems we have with regs is the window clamps snap or the cables snap easliy indentifyable by a visual inspection if not the problem will be the motor. the regs are between 40 to 50 pounds plus vat and the motors are between 90 to 120 pound these prices are for genuine parts as i work for cardiff tps a vag parts centre but they do change depending on chasis number. hope this has help you in some way oh and the problem wiv mine was the motor

Passenger switch isnt the same as the drivers side switchs which could be the reason mate. Drivers side ones are the automatic ones where as the passsenger side one isnt

Or do you mean the passenger switch from the drivers side door? if so then it should work, and if it doesnt then its probably the window reg.

Does anything at all happen when you try to use it, ie any soundof it trying to move?

 

[jay26]

yers it was switch from drivers door and nothing happend till i pluged in the pas switch and thats when it blew a fuse

 

[dubz_wm]

well, i did the test and the light didnt flicker so i guess its a new motor
