Electric Windows

I bought a punto 55 1996 recently, but being and old car it came with the passenger side window not working and it wasnt a job the garage wanted to fix.

I was shocked that a car of this age had electric windows anyway, so being so Ive got em I would like to be able to use them. Drivers side works fine, but the passenger side moves neither up nor down. When you press the button you can hear the motor turning, its like the window wants to move but it cant?!

Im not fussed coz my window works, but the problems is the passenger window gradually falls down, and im pushing it back up every 3/4 days coz a gap appears and the car gets wet and could easily be broken into. Im thinking may just be a lose connection somewhere becuase the lights on the button work, the motor makes a sound when you press the button, but there's no movement?

Any ideas?

Re: Electric Windows

Would have thought your best course of action would be to remove the door card, then activate the windows and see what parts are moving, and which bits arent, from that you should be able to establish what needs replacing
