Electric window operation intermittent - Toyota Yaris Forums

Jambo101, how savy are you? If you can get a volt meter, you could take the door apart and check everything out. CTScott might also be able to help tell you what wires to "short out" to make a window go up or down. Also, you could take the module apart and see if there is any damage to the circuit board.

Another strange possibility could be a mouse. Ever had a problem with those?

Private mechanics diagnosis = Broken wire in the harness going from the car body to the drivers door. Every time he giggled that harness the window would operate..

Took the guy 20 minutes to find the break in the harness..
Charged me $30.. I can only imagine what the dealer would have charged..

Where the harness disappeared into the drivers door, seems there was some kind of kink and 3 of the wires looked like they were being slowly cut..
Nice thing about my private mechanic he doesnt mind if you stand there and watch him do the job,very comforting as you can see exactly what he's doing..
