Help - Driver's Door Electrics

[JR001]

I hope someone can shed some light on my driver's door problem that occured today. 2002 A4 SALOON.

I completely lowered the driver's door window. When I went to put the window back up it wouldn't go. I can't make use of the passenger window from any interior switch either. So, my driver window is permanently down.
I've tried wating a few minutes before trying again etc.

A couple of other miscrepancies I've noticed:

the window switch LED on the driver's door does not light. The passenger one does
the interior central locking switch (on driver's door) LEDS don't light up
the courtesy lights stay on when set at position 'level', when all doors are closed
NO exterior lights flash when I activate the central locking using the ignition key (they flash when I de-activate the central locking with key though)
alarm LED on interior driver's door doesn't flash when alarm activated
I think that's all I've noticed so far! Does anyone have any clues as to what might be the cause of this? I'd be willing to try and locate the problem if any suggestions seem to point to a certain fault (if possible).

Thanks.

I've got similar problems and people kept saying 'convenience module' yet it is perfectly dry. Cheers Bez this is well worth a go before spending £300 plus

BEZ - YOU WERE SPOT ON MATE!

There had been intermittent issues with the things I've mentioned, so the broken wire suggestion was tops.

I got the rubber cable guide off and pulled it right back to reveal a severed earth and frayed FEED wire. The wires are not very forgiving in their length, you're right. I couldn't solder extra wire on - instead I crimped an extra bit on.

All driver's door electrics issues now solved.

THANK YOU:beerchug:

Glad you got it sorted :)

I've got to examine the same area as my Drivers door central locking isn't working.

Does anyone know if you can remove the wires completely from the door hinge to examine properly? ie is the red plastic, that the loom goes into, able to come free from the door?

u should beable to remove nut no need if its broke or damaged u can see by pulling the rubber back only breaks in the rubber part
