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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just had the alternator and the battery done on my car and ever since - the drivers side window does not stay down when I close the door. When I pull the handle it lowers the usual amount but as soon as I let go to shut the door -the window returns to the all the way up position. This only happens when opening from the outside handle - and only about 75% of the time. It operates fine if I open the door from the inside handle. Anyone have any tricks here or do I have a microswitch going bad somewhere? O

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Look at this thread. Using a screw driver to close the latch with the door open should show you which switch isn't working correctly. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ht=door+switch

Thanks! I suppose I should have searched door latch. To late for this weekend but I will get into it next.
