UK Car Repair: Problem to close driver side window, blown fuses, door hinge

Question
Cant close driver side window at Fiat Punto 60 SX 5DR.It is stuck and half open. Control button  on  the same door for the passenger window doesn’t work too but control button on the passenger door works.

Answer
Check your fuses first!

No blown fuses--->>

push down the switch normally but fairly hard towards open/closed and wiggle it side to side, around n around - see if the switch works being manipulated like this.


Basically you're either looking at a loose connector to the switch in the door. OR the wiring near door hinge (that connects the door to the body) has become damaged. OR Switch worn out/damaged/contaminated.


try the switch with the door fully open, partially open etc to see if its the wiring at the hinge.


Not sure how the door fits together on the punto but it should be straightforward, you want to get to the back of the switch, check the connector is properly attached, clean, free of rust etc.. then if all thats good (wiring and connector) - you can try soaking the switches internals in WD40 and operating the switches on it quite roughly for a minute or so, then refit and check operation, if still no joy just replace the switch with a scrapper switch)
