Electric Window Mk 2 1990 GTI Scirocco Weber

Passenger Electric Window has finally given up after being choosy about how it would work. The window is fully open and its pixxing down! The drivers window is working.......

I can't work out if the window can be closed manually, it does'nt look like there's method built in. The whole mechanism is locked solid and i cannot lift the window by hand.

Can anybody clear up the location of the Thermal Fuse and Window Relay for me, i suppose i should try those first?

If that does'nt cure it how do i replace the motor and winding gear ? or is there some alternative?

Any clues please? :ire:

Check the wires coming from the passenger switch on the drivers side as well as on the passenger door.

I think if you have jump leads or something similar) you can directly power the motor??

failing that cover it with a plastic bin bag wedge it in the door and tape it down

i would think it's unlikely to be a fuse etc if one side is working

I think the fuse and relay must be OK too! So I'll see if I can get the motor working. Wish me luck and Thanks Danny!!
