A little help! please

I have a problem with my drivers window not opening.
The door lock works, the mirror adjustment works and all the other windows work on their own switches. I just cant open the drivers window or the other windows from the drivers switches.

Is this likely to be a broken wire where the door hinges and if so anyone got any idea which one its likely to be..I know it a long shot but havent got much time to sort this.

thanks a bunch

aah i have a similar problem see thread: http://www.hiluxsurf.co.uk/forums/sh...ad.php?t=45587


The general concensus is the most likely fault area is in the rubber connector between the door and the panel in the drivers foot well wires break due to being flexed with the doore opening and closing.

it could also be the master switch connections being dirty see

I never realy need to use it, the weather is never good enough to have it down, and on the odd hot days we get, I just turn on the air con.

Well i cleaned the switch cluster and tested the wiring loom for faults and found two wires that did nt make a connection when tested. What can i do about then???? any ideas or is it a case of replacement wiring loom.???

Run two new wires through the conduit and solder them in to the old ones either side of the breaks, cut the old bits of wire right out when you do it, keeps everything nice and neat, can also use the old wires you're cutting out to pull the new wires through aswell if you do it that way.
