Title: Please help!!
Post by: Jussa on May 30, 2013, 09:50:21 pm
Driving home from AKS and just as I got home decided to open my window.  The drivers window opens, but I have to keep pushing the button to open it, the one touch function has disappeared, it also won't open the passenger window with a one touch, I have to keep my finger on it  :confused: I leant over to the passenger window, pushed the button and it opened with one touch WTF is going on??????  It seems that the driver side has lost the one touch function to open either window  :sad1:
Any ideas??

If so you need to reset the window memory, by holding the button for the window to go down, and the same for the window to come back up, about 4 or 5 times  :wink:

Hope that helps!

Hold the window switch down until it's fully down, then hold it up until the window is all the way up, problem should resolve itself  :happy2:

lower the window and hold the switch down for a few seconds, then raise it and hold the switch for few seconds

If it doesn't work, please tell me what it is. I have the same problem, except only on the right hand side. I'm thinking door module.

Yes, this is most likely the problem.

Door module????
Is it expensive, and is it a difficult job??

It's about £100 for the unit; there are non-oem ones on ebay for £40, but apparently these are rubbish. Door skin needs to be removed - there's a guide in the 'how to' thread.
The module itself can possibly be repaired if you're prepared to open it up and use a soldering iron to re-establish any broken connections.
