VW Golf with Electric Window Fault - winnart2001
I have a 1994 VW Golf GTI with electric windows & central locking which works when turning the key in the door. Every time I open the car & start the engine the passenger window goes down on its own followed buy a clicking noise as if it?s still trying to work.
If I do manage to get it to go up, it just goes down again. Does anyone have a clue as to what?s going on.
Many thanks

That sounds like a dicky switch. The handle that houses the switch pops off easily.

Thanks for your reply, I have pulled off the connecter to the switch but it still does it.
I think it may be something to do with the central locking, when you lock the car & the windows are down, they go up automatically, except this one seems to do the opposite.
