Default What's wrong with my window?

My electric window on the drivers door of my sapph will go up but not down I've checked that there is 12 volts for it to go up and there is and I've also checked that there's 12 volts for it to go down and there is. Does it switch earths or anything silly like that?

Thanks

The switch has 2 little plastic rods they pop out now and then causing a bad contact.
Hope this helps

I took the switch apart and gave it a clean and it sort of works now I think it needs a bit more attention because it's intermittent.

If your sunroof is leaking, and you have a manual sunroof, the water drips off the handle - directly above the electric window switches and corrodes them inside
