Question
Hi there, please help me.  My Passenger side window has stopped working.  It is currently about 3 inches open and I cannot close it.  I have tried the fuse but no luck. Any idea what I can do to get it closed, if not actually fix it.

Many thanks

Answer
Hi Melanie, when you press the switch can you hear any motor ? it could be the motor giving out or it could be the switch will it go down but not up? if so then it is a switch fault, you would have to pop the dual control switches out and swap the wires around (plug the left switch wire into the right switch and vice versa. if not then you would have to take the door panel off and move the motor manually with an Allen key through the end of the motor shaft. - If you have any questions get back to me. _ Paul
