Can anyone help with this odd one.

I have a 2003 2.2 JTD mk2 Ulysse. It's the bad old electrical everything model. Using it a the weekend to go to the local council tip (probably should have left it there :) ) and the drivers side rear window went down for no apparent reason. Now it wont go back up and seems dead.

Also, afer this happened, the car has developed a current drain, about a constant 2.0 Amps so the battery goes flat by the follwing morning.

So, the car has a brand new Bosch Silver H/Duty battery, i've checked for waer ingress and alls dry, the car cranks and starts ok, all electrics work ok, but the batery will drain over night to the point where it cant crank the car over and start.

Any ideas? I've tried the inline meter and pull fuses test, but if you knwo these cars you'll know that process doesn't work as there are initailaistion sequences that happen after you switch on that enable things. Sure is an odd one and don't know whee to start.

thanks
