    if you have put a feed directly across the motor and it doesn't spin, then there may be two things, one, the motor is burnt out, two the mechanism is jamming.

    If you have a multimeter, can you not put across the motor to see when someone presses the window switch one way or the other that there should be some reading across the motopr terminals.

    ya but don't tell us how you fixed it, or what was wrong with it or what was causing the problem, usually when this happens people are too embarrassed to tell us they were pressing the wrong button!!!!!lmao

    Sure mate! they arn't going to be telling you it was only a fuse or a loose connection, they are going to make sure that whatever it was , it justified them charging you how much? £60.00 !!! lol.
