How it ever worked is amazing

Many thanks Jamie

It's the earth wire.. I'm surprised you didn't get a slight buzz from the switch when it was working'ish...? Giving the impression of a dodgy switch!

I did

Thought it was a dirty switch, so bunged some switch cleaner into it and it worked

- for a couple of days anyway

, then silence again

John, yer not the only one...

A little while after i got mine i had an intermittent problem with the windows.. (& a bit of switch buzz.) Looked at the switch & found it had been butchered but just about working!
Looked at the loom.. & the black wire was gone where it goes into the body...
