hi there

need help fast!!

drivers side window opened fine yesterday but would not go back up so left with open car now.

took door panel off this morning to see if i vould get window up to keep rain / thifs out but it would not budge.

have checked the switch and it as fine as i tried pn the passenger door connector and the relay under the dash clicks when i press the switch but the window just sits there it seem as if there is no juice getting to the motor as it makes no noise atall so i guess that is where the problem lies.

has anyone else had this prodlem and what is the fix - guess a new motor for starters. also is this a diy fix or is it better to throw some cash at a mechanic.

the gaffer tape and polythene replacement is spoiling the coupe lines i like so much!!!!

cheers

Dave

hi there,

I have a '94 2.6 V6 Coupe & I also had the same problem with the drivers side window.

It took me an age to figure out the problem, but in the end I located it to the window and sun roof relay under the dash (you'll need to remove the storage shelf under the steering wheel and its in position numbers 5&6 in the front auxiliary panel) so I purchased a new "power window/sunroof control module relay" from vagparts.com at a cost of £61.05 inc vat.

This cured the problem!

However, after removing the cover from the old one and inspecting the circuit board, one of the soldered joints was simply burned out! So if your any good with a soldering iron check this out first.

Hope this is of some help, Merry Christmas & a very prosperous (and dry!) new year!

Phill

I have a very similar problem some of my windows in my 1995 90 dont go up or down from the doors control and sometimes from my drivers control panel. Its almost completely random when they work or don't work. I'm wondering if this is a common problem or if I have some serious wireing to do.

this seams to be a common problem for audi coupe with electric windows, my boyfriend had teh same problem with his coupe... but my doesn't have electric windows and i don't have that problem

Hi there pmcgrath

i had a similar problem with my last car (a 1994 VW Passat) and forund that some of the wires in the harness had broken within the rubber boot that goes from the door to the A/B pillars .
it was the power wire for the electric windows which would sometimes make contact leading to occasional use.
also i found that if a backed the harness connector off about 6mm (1/4" for the yanks) the windows would work. pretty sure the VW and Audi connectors are different though having seen the one on my coupe.
it sounds like you have one or both of these problems or .......!!!!!
worth checking out though so at least you know.

i fixed the wire in the loom but was not a complete fix as windows only worked a bit better - i would suggest its defo the motors but also check any earthing points as these corrode and lose their conductivity

happy hunting
