Electric Window Problem

[lab44]

Just took a mate in my car and when she tried to open the passenger window nothing happened. Controls work fine on my side (can open both my own and passenger window) but left side doesnt work. Not sure if this is a fault that has developed or if it ever work (dont usually carry passengers).

 

Anyone else had this problem

Not had any problems with mine but could be a loose connection if its still working on the drivers side.

 

Quite easy to check yourself though and see. Just that 1 torx screw in the handle part and then a case of wiggling it out from the back (handle part) forward to the switch.

 

My old clio used to suffer from certain problems like that and was always just a case of wiggling the wire and it worked again.

Easiest thing to check is the plug on the back.

 

You can take the switch out, the whole of the plastic piece has to come out though and to do that you need a particular Torx bit, cant remember what size but if you have got one of those cheapie socket sets or screwdriver things, chances are you'll have the right bit.

 

Anyway, the Torx screw is in the the handle bit that goes down into the door.

 

Edit: Wozza got there first, Doh!!!

Thanks for that. I'm away at the moment so I'll don't have any tools with me so will have to take a look when I get back home on Tuesday. Was just wondering if it was possible I had disabled it or something (though I can't see any feature on the car that might disable the passenger window)

I noticed today that the passenger side window doesn't go all the way. (Nor does my passenger, often :()

 

Last time I had this was on my Mini, where the window mechanism had rusted through inside the otherwise sound door. Hope that's not the case here...

 

Any better ideas?

You sure you haven't disabled the back windows? (Switch on Drivers door disables the rear windows)

No well its the coupe so only two windows - i was wondering if there was an option to disable the window though I cannot see one. Might give citroen a call tommorrow and if theres a problem book it in.

Just to let peeps know the button is broken. Took it into Citroen today - they didnt have the right part to repair it but will be ordering it in so alls good.
