Hi all,

Hope someone can help. I have a problem with my drivers side window on my 2004 A4 saloon. As you know there is a double window switch on the drivers side to control both the driver and passenger window( as back windows are manual). The switch for the passengers side worked fine so I have taken the door cover off, located the switch and replaced it. However, i still have the same problem and I cannot find a short etc and fuse seems ok. has anyone got any idea what else I should look for? grate ful for any advice as im getting very frustrated. thanks all

Mine was cause by the harness that goes through the door jamb; look for a rubber grommet with the door open and pull it back and inspect the wires. Mine were cut through. It supplies power to the whole circuit and has a bad reputation of breaking.

Hi Lyleswk,

Problem on the way to been resolved. You were right, found a broken connection in the harness from the door to the car body. It did take the third attempt before discovering the proble. I would suggest to anyone with a similar problem in the future, make sure you pull the harness rightback starting from the car body, pull each wire in turn to see if it pulls out from the other side as initally I looked at the wires and visually they looked intact.

have you any idea waht is the best way to repair the circuit/wires and can the harness be replaced as I had to cut the rubber to access the damaged wires?

In the maentime, many thaks for your invaluable advice as it has taught me a good lesson and saved me alot of euro in these difficult economic times
