Got a 2010 Skoda fabia 1.4 tdi.
Electric front window, manual rear)
Today while driving home after having my mot, I just pulled into a shop carpark & the passenger side electric window wound down & dropped* all the way down without my pressing the button. I parked up & the button on the drivers side door card wouldn't work the passenger window at all. Reached over & used the passenger side button & that just worked as bit intermittent

Switched ignition off then on & the passenger door card button worked for me to get the glass up.
Driving on the way home it seemed intermittent & a press of the button on the drivers side door card sometimes operated the glass & other times seems to have a delayed action (could hear the motor randomly acting a few seconds later)

Any pointers to look at? Was thinking it could be the drivers side window switch (cheapest option to change) or perhaps a broken or intermittent wire break in the bellows between a pillar & door? (Does this affect skodas like it does the mk5 golf?)
I haven't scanned it yet. Not sure if vcds would show the problem?
Thanks!
Mike

The wiring from the A pillar to door is just power, earth, speakers, two digital CAN BUS lines, a digital LIN BUS wire to the rear door controller and illumination feed if fitted. The (in)convenience unit behind the glovebox receives a CAN BUS signal from the drivers door controller (i.e. the motor) and sends this to the passengers door controller.. I would start with a code read.
