any ideas?

A useful extract from 'the complete works of Brianmoore'?

If the windows work with the doors open, it's nothing to do with the door switches and unlikely to be the door plugs/sockets either (unless the doors being open puts just the right amount of pressure on the door pillar connectors to make them contact again.- unlikely for both doors at the same time ).
The power for the windows comes from a completely different source with the ignition on and doors closed than it does when they are open.
Power comes from one of the red leads from the battery to the fusebox, (must be OK, or several things wouldn't work) to unloader relay K6, (check by pulling the relay and linking sockets 30 and 87). From here it goes to fuse 17, and from there by a white/black wire to a socket near the middle of the accessories socket behind the glovebox.
There is a single pin plug plugged in here, (check it's still plugged in), with either a White/back or green/blue wire, depending on whether you have an electric sunroof or not. This wire goes to a blue changeover relay behind the glovebox, (check by substitution), and from here on the wiring is common with the door open wiring, so must be OK.
