99 406 Saloon - Front Drivers Window Stuck / Dead Motor?!?

[pauby]

Hoping somebody can help me with this.

Got a 99 Peugeot 406 Rapier 1.9 TDi which has a problem with the drivers front window. Common fault so I've found out and I've bought a replacement switch which hasnt helped so I'm looking to track down the problem.

When I press up on the switch a hear a click click. When I press the down on the switch I hear nothing. So I'm wondering could this be:

a) Just a stuck window? I've tried to push it down when pressing but didn't want to do that too much - would greasing the rubbers work?
b) A damaged motor? If so, how would I test that.

I know this is an age old problem and the switch going is a common fault but I have a working switch that is not working on my car so it's something else.

Any help at all appreciated. Bit of a car DIY newbie but happy to try (almost) anything!

Hi,

check the wiring in the door loom, look for broken or chaffed wire/s
you dont have to dismantle the door to check,just pull the rubber boot back,


failing that, take door card off and inspect the Motor, Multimeter Might be your friend their,
