Drivers Window not working

[bazzle]

Sorry for the thread jack, but whilst were on the topic of power windows has anyone else notice an annoying bug .

Perform a window reset. Hold button "up" for 10 seconds, Hold button Down for 10 seconds, and Up again.

The windows have safety roll back feature. If something obstructs the window going up it will stop and roll back. This can happen if you have crud build-up in the window channels.

It may be something inside the door, I lost a suction cup off a baby window shade in the door of another car and it was doing the same thing.

Today I had an issue with my 2005 Golf Tdi. I parked at the shops and the drivers window was down about 3 inches and now it won't move. All the other windows work as normal. I've tried resetting by using the key in the door, but still not working.

I'm assuming the window motor is stuffed. Could it be anything else? It pissed down with rain on the way home which furtehr added to my happy mood.

Mine did this. It was the solenoid? rather than the motor that was stuffed. Normally these two items are a single part, but my trusty mechanic had just the solenoid lying around from another car. He replaced it and now it's fine.

I went out to the garage yesterday and said to the missus..."it would be nice if it just worked today" and sure enough, i put the keys in the ignition and pulled up on the window button and the window went up. Weird problem. It is now working fine, yet yesterday it wouldn't budge.

My 2005 Mk V Sportline is doing the same thing. Drivers window was working intermittently so I thought it was the switch. I bought a new switch from VW for $90 and it's still happening. Now it has stopped working altogether. I pulled the drivers door switch box out and disconnected the connector. All other windows working and I can hear an electric clicking noise when I depress the drivers door button but the window doesn't move, hence I figure the switch is ok. Sounds like it might be a wiring issue as mentioned earlier. Tried all the holding the remote keys up and down and the 3 other windows work but not he drivers door. Can anyone tell me why the sunroof is not opening and closing with the windows?

Sunroof requires communication from the door control module, which may or may not be working as per possible wiring problem.

Any recommendations of who I can take it to (apart from costly VW dealerships) to have it fixed?
