Why do weird things have to happen to me lol!

Passenger window!

Goes down but doesnt go up...(no control using driver side controlls) just goes down using passenger side switch but wont go up...fuse in engine bay (only one for the window i can see) is fine...must be fine anyway for it to go down..

Do you reckon there is a problem behind the door cars etc...i cant drive it to work now its gotta stop in the garage as the bloody window is a quarter of the way down :annoyed:

Maybe the switch is knackered mate if the switches are the same try whacking the drivers side one on the passenger side and seeing if it will go back up using that.
Barring that have to take the card off and see if anything is trapped in the mech or if its moved slightly and needs adjusting try the switch first if possible as then it eliminates something else

Hmm if it is the motor or regulator thats messed up I wonder if S15 and S14's have the same parts? Will be a lot easier to source one from an S14..

Cheers mate!

I dont know what the hell its going to be as it confusses me! The switch works as you can lower the window...but not raise it...weird!

Also no control for the passenger window from driver controls

Check ebay mate I am sure I saw a pass window motor on there the other day? If that's what it is obviously

I wouldnt have thought it would be the motor if it works from one switch. I'd try a new regulator firstly then the drivers side switch. It's hard to guess without seeing a wiring diagram.

Ill open the door up when I can and have a look..not sure what I’m going to be able to conclude from looking at it though unless something’s basically in your face broke..which I doubt it is if the window will go down like normal..

Im hoping they share the same regulator as the micra as there’s sh*t loads on ebay...doubtful though!

I've had subaru switches pack up like that, where it will go down but not up. But as you have no control from drivers then it's unlikely to be switch. Also check the wiring going through the door shut as it may have a broke wire etc!

I would try a switch first. The control goes thorough the drivers switch and then through the passenger switch, so if the passenger switch is stuffed then the drivers one won't work either. Have a look at the electrical section in the manual, specifically page EL-116

Its the passenger side switch,its a common problem. I know of several mates cars having had the same issue. The only solution is another switch.

If it does turn out to be that im gonna have to somehow try and connect the drivers working switch to the passenger side..close the window then leave it without a switch until I can source one...
