General Driver side electric window switch

[Pea6969]

Hope somebody can help.
I'm having a problem with the drivers electric window on my 06 grande punto.
The switch doesn't work- window is thankfully stuck in up position. The mirror and passenger window controls work fine.
I taken a loon at the body to door loom and it looks fine, I have also cleaned up the actual switch contacts with contact spray but still nothing.
The switch lights up but when I try the switch the light goes off then appears back a few seconds later.
Anyone gave any ideas?
Could it be a fuse?
Or do I need a new switch unit?
Loathed to take it in to a dealer of I can fix it myself.

Sounds like it may possibly be the switch unit, might be worth a punt in a used replacement from eBay etc.

What makes you think that? Is it because the light is going off and on?

Indeed, it doesn't sound like it functioning properly, and you've checked everything else.

I took the switch mech out and put it back together but like you say it could be the actual circuit board that's faulty.
I will prob try eBay lithe you suggest unless anybody else cones up with any theories, thanks.

My wiring looked fined intil i took the whole loom out and removed the rubber sleeve that connects from the door to the car body. 5 wires were split in half.

How did you rectify that? Dealer job?

I soldered them back together and heat shrink wrapped them then taped them.

Everything worked again after.

It was either spend £12 on a soldering iron (the dealer told me how to fix it and even gave me the heat shrink for free) as opposed to paying over £200 for a new wiring loom.
