Front Passenger Window Sticking

john949 · 18th April 2017, 09:09

The front passenger window only moves a few cm up or down with each press of the switch. Sometimes it will move down a couple of times and then run fully up while you are pressing down. I've tried lubrication but the window doesn't feel or sound stiff. Helping it by pulling / pushing as you operate the switch makes no difference. Could be a dodgy switch I suppose (behaves the same using both passenger and driver's side switches) but looks more like the over-current protection is cutting in. However I've read that this car doesn't have over-current protection!

Can someone tell me what the anti-trap mechanism is on the front passenger window? (2004 Contemporary) or even better point me at a circuit diagram.

Thanks

Replacing the driver's side switch unit sorted it.
