Xtrail windows

[Andykitch]

Hi we have a 2016 xtrail. The passenger front window will only go down on passenger button and not up. It also won’t work from drivers master switch. The drivers side window will not go up or down off the button! (Rear windows work fine) I can raise and lower both front windows if I connect abattery straight to motors so motors work. I have changed the master switch on drivers side for a new one but no difference. I have also got a new passenger switch coming to try. Is there anything I am missing or something else to check?? Thanks

I cannot think of any particular reason the windows are functioning as they are.
Maybe best to wait to see what occurs when you fit the new window switch.

Let us know the outcome

Hi I have replaced both switches and nothing has changed. Passenger side only goes down from switch and neither fronts work from drivers switch!

Only other thing I can think of is the wiring loom that goes from the drivers door to the A post is broken.

Peel back the rubber gaiter and also inspect the connections.
Sometimes, when a door is opened and closed over time the wiring breaks where it articulates (also happens on tailgates).

Hi yep that was the problem. There were 4 or 5 cables broken and majority of others were on the way to failing. Outer sheathing on majority was cracking and starting to break

Nice simple solution if not a little fiddly to resolve 🙂
