Default Window won't work MK6 Escort Si

Hi,

Just after some help please before I freeze to death, my drivers window stopped working the other night much to my annoyance, not sure what the problem is, the green light shows on the passanger side one but not on the drivers, it flickers when you bang it, but the window has just stopped working (half way up I might add).

Just after some advice on what to look for, bare in mind I am a completwe forest gump with anything technical.

Many thanks in advance.

as said the switches often pack up

to get your window back up - pop the switches out and swap the plugs around (use the passenger side button on drivers side wires) then you can at least put the window up !

don't hold me to this though as its a good while since i was playing about with a mk6 but i am 99% sure the plugs are the same for both sides

Yes you are right dude, same for both sides. The switches are a bit of a bitch and just pack up from time to time which is why i carry a spare set in the love-box. Sometimes when mine go sticky, i just pop the cover of and reach under the switch to the wires and give it a wee wiggle and they work again.
