The window button only works intermittently, sometimes pressing it several times helps, or switching ignition off. The key in the door lock never fails!!! It will always raise and lower the window, using the key. What is the problem?? Thanks.

What age is the car?Does it have the double switch in the door pull handle?

Very common problem is a poor contact in the switch block. You can take them apart and clean them. I've done this many times. Failing that replace it.

Many thanks for your time!! Is the switch a double in 1 housing, or does it separate once removed from the door panel?

Hi there, thanks for your time!! Yes, it has the double switch. The car is 15 years old and is a mk3 with the mk4 facelift. Commonly known as the mk3.5 I believe.
