Exclamation 2006 Zetec:Strange Passenger Window ??

Hi guys


I've got a problem with the passenger side window on my 3door 2006 fiesta zetec....



The window went down and wouldn't come back up,So i took the door card off and tested the two wires on the back of the motor and only one of them had power the other one was dead with not even an earth signal. so i run a earth wire to it and the window went up.


The strange part is that from testing all the wires it seems like the switch on the passenger side only makes the passenger window go down, and the switch on the drivers side (to control the passenger window) only makes the passenger window go up if i give the other wire on the back of the motor an earth.



I'm usually quite good with eclectics but this one has me confused.....lol




Any ideas?




P.s.... The drivers window works perfectly

Check the wiring loom through the grommet between the door and the car, the plugs can corrode letting all sorts of wierd things happen and the wiring can also break due to being bent back and forth with the door opening / closing.

Thanks for the quick reply


I didn't notice any plugs down there but ill have a check. Will i need to remove the door card again to get to it or can i just pull the grommet from the outside?




I can understand that affecting the drivers switch the the passenger doors wiring, but would that explain the passenger switch only making the the window go down?
