Auto electric window works on way down but not on way up??


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Got a funny prob with the Vr.....drivers side electric window - the 'auto winding' (after holding the button) works for up and down on the passenger window, and works for down on the drivers window, but doesnt work on the drivers window on the way up?

What could be causing that? It doesnt appear to struggle or be sticking? Ive read in the manual how to 'programme' the auto feature, and it doesnt make any difference.

Any one know how the mechanism works, and any things I should check?

The main power to the door recently required re-connecting as it split - could this be part of the problem?

Cheers

zonda - i got the info from a vw tech manual - it says about 'programming' the auto feature after the battery has been disconnected (dont know how relevant this is to all models). Basically you have the window(s) open, and then shut them using the key in the drivers door - when the window shuts keep the key in the lock position for about 2 secs. Then relock and hold for another 2 secs. Repeat again twice I think, and thats it?

I may have got the wrong end of the stick - but thats what I thought it meant.

I assume that the controller for the winder (the bit attached to the motor mechanism?) detects the long press and 'auto' winds the window for you. So I dont see how it will only work one way.

A guy at work sasy that his Honda (very new) is the same - he seems to think its supposed to be like that - but I dont as my 1993 GTi works on the way up - but wouldnt work on the way up on the passenger side!!!!

:(
