My passenger windown on my BB4 has stopped working
took the door card off and couldnt see any problem - central locking and electric folding mirrors all work ok
window on driver side working.

so am i safe to assume its the motor thats gone or something wrong with the black control box
or
is there anything else i should check - im assuming its not a fuse as drivers window works ok etc

any help appreciated ;)

Stupid questions time - so appologies if it sounds like I think you're a rhubarb (I don't!) :lol: but need to start with these...

Does it not work from either the passenger side switch, or drivers side switch, or only tried on one of those?

Also :facepalm: it isn't switched off on the drivers side, is it?

Assuming it's none of those, I would start by checking with a multimeter that the passenger side motor has a good earth.

dont know what you mean by it isnt switched off on drivers side - thats not possible is it :lol:

got the door card off so will check the earth on the window motor like you say :)

checked all the fuses in the footwell and they are ok

If "main" is switched off, your windows won't work...
