PRACTICAL ADVICE

Power window does not work while driving

Switch malfunction.

Remove the switch on the other door and connect it to the connector in place of the failed switch. If the connector is operational, you can close the window.

Broken wire to motor.

Run an additional wire from the battery to the motor connector (if there is no positive voltage) or from «masses» (if missing «weight») and close the window.

Motor damage.

Remove the door trim. Loosen the screws securing the glass to the power window and lift it up. Temporarily secure the glass in this position with strong adhesive tape or support it underneath with a suitable piece of wood. Naturally, these are only temporary measures.
