So my power windows just randomly stopped working both of em at the same time. Neither switch or side work. I have checked the fuse and replaced the little circuit breaker thing too. So i'm at a loss i don't really do electrical stuff too much so i'm lookin for help. I really just need the windows up thats all since the air blows cold.

 

the exactly same thing happened to me bout 2 months ago. im thinking bout working on them on my own tomorrow and if i find anything ill let u know.

 

could they have gotten wet? they may have shorted out

 

my just stopped working while i was drivin home.

 

no not wet in a garage at the time. Let me know what you find i am tryin to find some help around here locally i'll let you know if i find anything

 

ok just an update got the windows up apparently the motor was just locked up. We held the up button the whole time and hit the door panel a few good times and it came up

 

That does happen sometimes.

 

yup apparently...lol but they go up and down fine now lol

 

Also check the wire loom between the door and body of the car for a broken or frayed wire.It may be a wire in there that needs to be repaired and not the window motor.

When you bang on the door the wire could be making contact enabling the windows to go up.

soo.. mine basically did the same thing today.. drove to work with window down, put it up, came out for lunch and it was stuck, wouldn't go down or move at all... read this post and quickly found my rubber mallet... openned the door, held button down and hit it twice right on the inside of the door hinge kinda roughly and vwalllllaaa!! window works perfectly again... trusty ol rubber mallet to the rescue.. and MF.com!!
