Window drop test

Post by carlpea »

Can someone do a quick test for me on both passenger and driver's door? With the outside handle held open constantly push the door closed and see if the window goes up and open the door again, with the door handle still pulled open, and see if the window drops or is it in the dropped position until you let go of the handle?

I know there is an issue with my passenger door mechanism where the window doesn't drop quickly enough but still both doors act in different ways:

Passenger door: If I hold the outside door handle open the window goes up when door pushed closed and drops when door open.

Driver's door: If I hold the outside door handle open the window stays down until I let go of the door handle no matter what conditions.

Same.

There have been a few cases of the passenger door microswitch needing re-positioning by the dealers.
Mine is much more sensitive to the passenger door handle movement than on the driver's side.
