As a mechanic myself, your fault finding is spot on. I love watching these videos, you must upload more often!

[@LMAutoRepairs]

😊 Trying to... 😋 Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@matejanosvarga4478]

Great fix Luis. Spot on on replacing the wire sections with more flexible ones, VAGs are plagued by door harness issues.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Indeed they are! 😊 👍👍👍

[@guest9169]

This was exactly the case with old Peugeot and Citroen in my personal experience. The "same level twist" stuff. I tried a couple of times to just repair or replace wires, but they always came back with the same problem. To get around this, I extended those wires about 30 cm thus making a loop and introducing a "different level bend" and avoiding the straight through "design". Obviously I had to cut the rubber channel in half, so it's a solution for personal use / friends only, not really a solution for a customer.

Love your little Our Lady of Fatima statue on your dashboard ❤ and your Rosary Beads. Great protection man!

[@ianhenderson4441]

Nice work .Those Skoda's are notorious ..for Door harnesses..I have replaced a few myself ...Enjoyed The Video 👍😁

This is exactly what i needed thank you so much! I need a new drivers side switch for the windows but the loom wiring is absolutely busted.

2011 Skoda roomster did not recognize that the front door was open. Decided to get it fixed so I wouldn't forget the lights on when I left the car. The repair guy was like "Yeah there was five wires completely separated..." So five wires completely broken and the only symptom was that the car didn't realize the door was open :D That's pretty good. Another weird thing with a rotten loom with the same car was that when I turned the ignition off, the motor kept on running. It's a weird feeling when you turn off the car and remove the key and think "Wait a second... why is this car still running?" The car would turn off when I would switch to reverse gear. The culprit was the trunk door loom. I have no idea how. There were some wires completely broken. Replacing the loom fixed the issue.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

😅 That sounded interesting... Glad you got those issues sorted! 👍👍👍

[@richarddunkling2807]

Same system as my 2007 Roomster which was fitted with front only electric windows. I had identical symptons - intermittent operation of both the driver and passenger windows. Initially I suspected the wiring but the continuity and condition of the connections the driver and passenger doors all checked out OK. A replacement £180 combined drivers door module/motor fixed the problem. An expensive DIY repair not sure how much a dealer would have added for labour - but suspect a lot.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

[@elivne]

Amazing work, I fixed the same wire issue in my Fabia mk2 2011 about 3 years ago. Your video would have helped :)

[@lindathefish7736]

Hope it lasted. My T5 has same electric window modules. If you disconnect the motors it works till you lock it. Then they don’t work. Think it’s an issue wit( the comfort control module as swapped out the motors and cards. I think if it doesn’t get the confirmation that the module has turned off after it requests it then disables them…

[@car-key-programming]

Quem trabalhou en ese carro antes não sabia nada do que eatava a fazer, para nen sequer por uma borracha para tras correcta.🤣 . Great finding and fix.👍👍

[@LMAutoRepairs]

😅 Obrigado! 👍👍👍

[@paulhickey9632]

Great video, very detailed. I tried to take the easy way out and bought a new complete door wiring loom. Window still won’t open. Any idea why?

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Double check connections etc... Test the motor, fuses and you might need to make some other measurements... 👍👍👍

[@Fabi....]

Good job 👍

[@LMAutoRepairs]

[@robjones9811]

I had the same problem on ours same year gave up with it in the end as nothing solved it. So suspect bcm which controls the comfort module.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Possibly... 👍👍👍

[@JeanMelim]

Hi, thanks for the video. My mon have a Skoda 1.4 tdi 2008 LHD and the passenger window only works for a short of time if i disconnect the battery and reconnect. The comfort module are another one but with the same issue at the first. Sorry about my English Thanks in advance for any tips Best regards

[@LMAutoRepairs]

Have you scanned the car, looked at live data, etc...? 👍👍👍

[@JeanMelim]

​@@LMAutoRepairs hi, The problems are the same. Broken wires! I follow your method and made 5 new wires and now everything works fine. Thanks for all the tips

[@LMAutoRepairs]

👍👍👍

[@porkyboyyyy]

Someone help please, so I’ve had my Fabia for over a year now and my windows haven’t worked nor did they work with previous owner, so when I’ve had to jump start the car due to car battery being flat my windows worked after the car was started, but when I turned the car off, and then went back the next day to start the car the windows stopped working, I’ve tried just disconnecting the battery and that worked once now nothing will make them work is there anyone with any idea on what could be the issue?

[@alikamal8790]

Check as per this video... 👍👍👍

[@nicholasroberts6954]

Try flipping the anti-theft on and off.

[@neilmurphy845]

My guess is a broken wire inside the harness that goes from the door to the car Eric o had a similar case with electric mirror on a Chevy truck I think it was

[@mikezooper]

Why didn’t you edit out the irrelevant parts of the video. It feels like a waste of time watching the majority of the video.

[@LMAutoRepairs]

😂 You completely missed the idea of the video... You are looking for solutions, not to learn anything... The idea of my videos is not that... is to show how to test and how to get to conclusions... You can have the same problem caused by different issues... But you probably don't understand that...🤷‍♂️
