Passenger window won't come up
It's been a bit intermittent for a couple of years, and usually it will start working again before I've got to where I'm going, but today, it won't.
It will go down, from the passenger door switch only, so the driver switch isn't working for it either. All the other windows are fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Similar thing has been happening to mine, I think it's a relay sticking and cutting the power to the windows.
Solution, for my car, tap into a switched live, and run it to the main window wiring in the drivers footwell.
Might not be the same for you though, as that mightn't be your issue. Worth a try though.
What year car is it?

I am absolutely hopeless with electrics and haven't got a clue how I'd do what you've just said!!
I hate taking door cards off for a start!!!

Don't need to take the door cards off, just all the trim at the bottom of the dash, sills, and pull the carpet back.
Auto electrician should sort it quickly, but, will probably be costly if you call one out.

I've sorted it now.
It's the switch, and for some reason it stops the drivers door operating that window too.
Off to scrappy tomorrow if I can find one!
