Last night, everything was fine. This morning I realize my driver’s side front window won’t auto-up anymore. It’ll roll up but manually. Down works both ways, other windows not affected at all.
One thing I noticed is that even for up is that I have to have the toggle at 100% (as if I am initiating auto-up) instead of 50% with all the other windows and down.
I tried resetting the window limits by holding it for 10s up, 10s down, vice versa, etc. still nothing.
I might disconnect the battery for 30 mins and reconnect it to see if that helps.
Might just be the switch though, since the down works just fine on that window.
warranty.

my mk7 does this from time time, it won't auto up or down, sometimes on the drivers, sometimes on the passengers. I just live with it. But i'll probably talk to :diller: about it for next service.

warranty.
Mine did this, it was plastic fatigue in the retainer for the switch. At first i thought the auto up/down was just busted, but I discovered when it broke completely what was up. Not 100% saying this is your issue, but it seems to be common.
buy this.

then you will need to reset your auto up & down too. Easy peasy.

I think you gotta take the door panel off. The lights went out on mine but I decided not to change it.razr390 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 3:10 pmBig Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2017 1:26 pm
