Z3 Windows

[Simonc]

hi folks, new to this forum stuff but here goes,
Passenger window, must say now that battery had totally drained during winter park up, goes down fine but won’t go up, have tried swapping switches to test, no change.
When I put a direct feed from a battery to motor it goes up and down fine?
Any ideas?

I'm not great on electrics but it more then likely goes through a relay,maybe that could be the issue.

I get that if the battery has drained completely but if i charge the battery up or give the car a good run then open and close the window a few times it resets itself. Hope that helps.

Has your battery got full charge? Also - try lubricating the runner behind the door card. The problem could be other than this but worth a try.

Hi and great full thanks to all for the welcomes!
Great to receive so much help thanks, special thanks to Colb for the thread link.
Have ordered a regulator module as this seems to be the issue.
Cheers

Hi from Mansfield. My drivers side is so slow to go down it sometimes stops! Goes up fine, I'm going to lubricate the rubber today and see if it makes any difference.

You’ll find parts freely available secondhand from the forum if you want to save the cost over new. I think I have 4 of those currently It’s rare they fail. So a secondhand one is fine.

Hi @Simonc, to the forum from me too in Staffordshire. My slow window was cured with silicon spray down the sides.

Silcon spray down the sides fixed mine too.

Hello and welcome to the forum. I had sticky windows on my first Zed but that was sorted by a few squirts of silicon spray on the window rubbers
