My lady has just returned from the auto electrician with the Forester, the drivers window wont operate, the auto electrician told her it needs a new winder motor AND new switch, it seems that when the switch malfunctions (shits itself is the technical term I believe 😠) the motor just keeps on going till it burns out, what sort of crappy system is that? I would have thought that there would be a fuse in there to protect against that sort of thing, bloody cheap jap junk. 😬

It will have a fuse somewhere but it will only blow if there is a direct short in the wiring, the motor running at full power will not be enough to blow it.
I see this alot with centeral locking motors, the relay fails and keeps the motors running in one direction and burns them all out.

I'd get a second opinion on that one.

VW winders are much more unreliable than any Jap car.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.

Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂

The wierdest thing is that he didn't charge her for the time taken to do the inspection and gave her all the info she needed to get the parts. 🙄
