Hezz Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Could be a dodgy switch or the wires that go into the switch as the contacts burn out :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawdreamer Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 If it doesnt sort the issue you may have a dodgy earth somewhere along the window loom. Had a similiar issue with my st170 while driving in the rain of all things. ultimatly the bad earth caused other issues in my case and the motor had to go back to the Polar ford dealership two weeks after I bought it brand new to have all its cab looms replaced when they couldnt find the cause of the additional issues that started with the bad earth window roll down... thank god for warranty periods.

SLEEMAN Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 The window mechs usually tend to get weak and fail sometimes! If that's the case I'm getting rid of both my electric window mechs for 3 door mk6 they are tricky to fit and will need a pop riveter! If you want them let me know with a good offer?
