Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
AT a guess, the driver's side switch over-rides the passenger switch by cutting off the power.

Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
i had a similar issue with the passenger window on mine when i bought it, replaced the driver side button and its worked perfect ever since.

Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
the light on the passanger side button only goes out when i press the drivers side passanger button up to do with window up,is fine when going down so is this nothing to worry about?

Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
its prolly not bad, but a switch will be £5 (or free if you have deep pockets) from a scrap yard, and takes 2 seconds to change.

Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
ive got more problems now, i was parked up laat night and somehow the interior light started going mad and flashing real fast, and now the car wont lock using the key fob, what does all this mean? i have been driving round with only one headlight bulb in,unless this is making it short? otherwise whats doing this? doesnt seem good
Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
maybe a dodgy 'door open' switch? try opening and closing all the doors
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang
Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
what about the key fob not locking the car? have to use the key
Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
actually i just tried my other key fob and the locking worked, so must have been the battery in the fob, but the red led comes on when i press the button so i dont see why it doesnt work? unless theres only enough power left in it to light the led but not unlock the car lol?
Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
no actually the other fob works now, so this makes the problem even weirder, why wouldnt the fob work last night but now it does?are my electrics buggered lol?
Re: Passanger window sometimes doesnt work
batteries power output depends on factors such as temperature and recent use
