1999 Renault Kangoo elec window wont go back up

[johnacky]

Hi, all the passenger side elec window wont go back up, on my 1999 Renault Kangoo van. The drivers side didn't work, when I bought it. Checked the fused but they are fine?
Does anyone have any ideas. I put my elec tester on the cables going to the switch when the ignition was on, but there didn't seem to be a live. Any ideas?

The window switches could be at fault, try applying 12 volts directly to the motors.

Hi, cheers for the advice, disconnected the plug for the motor, and applied 12v and the window went up. Dont think there is a feed to the window. Cheers

The fault for this is often in the flexing of the wires which happens when the doors are opened and closed...the internal copper conductor fractures and conductivity is lost.
Sometimes you can feel a bulge in the offending wire where the fracture is.
