Howdy

Quick one - front passenger power window is playing up ONLY from the button on my door cluster. The window goes up and down just fine with it's own button, but will only go down using the button on my door controls - won't go up? So the motor in the door is fine, but appears something wrong with the electrics? Literally just started happening tonight.

How bizarre? Or is there a simple fix?

Thanks in advance people!!

Sounds like a bad contact in the switch. Same used to happen to the combination switch in my old Commodore. The switches are usually sealed units but can be pulled apart with a little TLC.

A simple fix Bigrig, just pull the switch and open it up[careful as they have some small bits that come loose] clean up the contacts on the pins and plate then replace and should work fine, mine have a habit of doing the same thing on occasion.
