evening all, yet another problem with my 2.5 v6.. that i have only had for 4hrs.. this one relates to the passenger electric window.. it will operate via the drivers console but only when the doors open.. the passenger switch not at all. i was thinking the wiring was getting trapped in the door hence only working when the doors open?? any ideas??

All fuses OK? No idea of fuse numbers, but there's two feeds for the windows.

sounds like a broken wire or dirty connection in door connector plug to me, open door and move wires about whilst using switch to see if dies again

Passenger window is opening when driver's door is open

evening all,
checked all the fuses... all ok checked the door connecter all seems intact.. but now i have airbag/seat belt warning light on the dash. this only appeared after i removed the door connecter . this is strange.. because the passenger window will open from the drivers side controler but only if the passenger door is open..weird, not a very safe way of opening the window   i have ordered a new passenger switch and pray it works

Looks like your car has side airbags. (just checked, its a W plate so will have) You either had the ignition switched on when disconnecting or switched it on whilst disconnected, hence the airbag fault showing.

The door has impact sensors within detecting sudden compression of the panel which activates the side airbags on the seats.

that will be about right.. the key was in the ignition  .., is there any way of clearing the warning light..

Either by proper tech2 or a device with appropriate software on it.  No doubt someone will be nearto your location and will shout out.

is there any danger of premeture activation of the airbags and thanks for your input

Its my understanding that if the airbag light is illuminated then the airbags default to safe - i.e. will not deploy in the event of an accident - so worth getting the light reset.
