Help!
My electric windows seem to be working when they want, sometimes they work sometimes the won’t. Intermittent faults are the worst, what should I check?

Re: Electric windows
Are they factory fit, retrofit original equipment or aftermarket electric windows?

Re: Electric windows
Ok, if so a VCDS scan might point you in the right direction.
Do both windows stop working together?

Sometimes but not always, the. If I operate passengers from drivers sometimes makes drivers work. I’m at a loss.

Re: Electric windows
Worth checking for broken wires inbetween the doors and body, under the rubber boot.

Re: Electric windows
Most likely waters got into switches and corroded contacts, you can remove switches without taking door cards off, slip a thin blade (kitchen knife) under either end to press plastic clips in to release switches and check.
