[QUOTE="carlsberg, post: 27179, member: 21454"] Hi guys, heres a description of the issue im having with my electric drivers window on my '94 318i e36 4 door, i hope someone can give some advice..... 3 weeks ago, the 'one touch' lowering and raising the window stopped working......... i left that to sort out another time, this week, the problem escalated, now, when raising or lowering the window, when it gets to full travel, the motor keeps on running and jumping the gears.... i cannot use central locking, as when i do, the motor runs and jumps gears............now, i have opened the door panel, and checked everything inside, there was a small stress crack on the window lifter, i thought i had found the problem, so, i drilled out the rivets, removed the lifter, and i had it welded up, its all back in place, lubricated and in perfect working order, but, the motor still wants to keep running when the window is either up or down, i swapped switches with the passenger side which works perfectly, still the same problem.......... the drivers side switch works fine on the passenger side, i dont think this is a motor or switch problem after my tests, is there a relay someplace that may be at fault?.... all the other 3 windows work perfectly....... central locking is also perfect (apart from the drivers window motor running) hopefully someone on here has some advice, i do try to keep the car in perfect order, and this defect is annoying!!cheers dave [/QUOTE]
