help on passenger side window

[johneiuk]

my passenger side window on my 316i isn't working any ideas on what the problem it could be. the windows are electric so it might be a motor.

wud be greatful for some help

Try swapping the switches over first.

If it's OE windows, rather than dealer afterfit ones, then it won't be the motor.
Usual cause of one side of electric windows failing is the switch.
Pull them out of the centre console and swap them over as a test.
Faulty ones usually respond well to dismantling, cleaning and greasing.

found out the problem there was a few. the switch will only work up so i need a new one can anyone tell me where i can get these from please.

also it was the runner on the bottom of the window came off from the motor arm and came unbounded from the window so i hope to have fixed that i will find out tommorrow. many thanks for all your help.

Silicon grease is what you want, not copper grease.
