I tried to reset the window by both using the "hold the switch down" method and even disconnecting the battery.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Came back from the autocross yesterday and noticed some strange behavior on the driver's side window. The problem was that from inside the car the window would automatically lower as it should. But if I opened it from the outside it would go right back up as soon as i let go of the handle. I tried to reset the window by both using the "hold the switch down" method and even disconnecting the battery. Neither one worked. So I used the search function and found this thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...-switches.html The suggestion there is to either replace the whole latch assembly or purchase one of the $5 microswitches. So my question is, has anyone else here replaced the microswitch by itself? If so how difficult is this re-assembly job?

POST 2Original post

A great thread on the subject over on RT.org http://www.renntech.org/forums/tutor...-microswitches (seriously worth the read and no they are not hard to replace, just time consuming and a little fidgety with all the screws and trim and stuff)

Thanks Logray! I'm at the mechanic now getting my track inspection and asked him to look at it. So we'll see if it is just the microswitch as I think it is.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
