E36 2 Door Convertible Driver Window problem

[neelsie88]

Hi.

On the driver side with the electric window I got some sort of problem.

I know when you open and close the door the window opens a bit. That works. But when I drive and the window is open everything is fine but when I drive and close the window you can hear the window motor every now and then trying to to domething, then after a while the window does not want to open again. Can only open it again after the car has been parked for a few hours.

I am so Confused!!!

Sound like a electrical problem... maybe open the door panel and see whether it is not the motor itself that can be faulty, otherwise check your wires that goes to the motor

It was the window switch on the door for when you open or close the door, it was a bit warn out

Hmmm I see, i thought the switch was attached to the door. Will go have a look & post if it sorted the issue.

@Nelsie88, I appreciate the help bud!!!

I hear with the convertables there is a switch on roof that can also mess around and cause heaps of problems opening boot and locking. due to the logic system thinking the roof is down.

So far I am lucky then... Hope that mine does not give problems later on
