Hi. So when you put your hand on the door handle the window drops down about a half inch.
At what point does the window return to to its fully closed position? Is it when you release the handle after pulling the door open?
Regards Big Bob

It sounds likethe Widow Lift Motor is operating OK. Do the interior lights etc come on when you open the door?
There must be a signal from this "Door Open Switch" operated by the Door being "Open" or "Closed" that tells the Door LiftMotor to stay whereit is until the Door Closes, when power returns to the Door LiftMotor to complete the close action of the window. Does that make sense? I know what I mean but its difficult to describe.
I would check out the switch that is activated when you open the door, that switches on the interior lights etc.
Regards Big Bob

Thanks Bob, I'll check it out in the morning. What i do know is that the interior light does come on as soon as the door is opened.
