Both of my 2004 307SW (1.6 petrol TU5JP4 envy model) windows snapped their cables after 20 years of service! Guess I cant complain!
2 weeks ago I cleaned up the windows seals, fitted a new regulator and all was good, working perfectly at brand new speed on the passenger side. After a long part wait on the driver's side, I did the same for that today. Mechanically it is perfect, brand new speed and nice n quiet. The Button on the driver door window panel for the driver's side was nearly gone so I ordered a chinese replacement for part 6554 E4 and got a slightly upgraded panel with fold-in mirror functionality plus the little 3 pin connector which isn't applicable for my car. I fitted this and incrementally brought the windows un and down and all good. However, when I bring the driver window down to the bottom, it no longer raises on the button, after a while (erratic) I can bring the winow up with the button and it works PERFECTLY until I go all the way to the bottom. I had the mechanism 1/3 of way down when disconnected and reconnected everything in the same position. The passenger side is perfect, and the mirrors work perfectly too! When I plug in planet, I can see the programme registering the button being pulled up (both manual and auto postions) to raise the window but nothing happens. Unsure if this is correct but the module registers the window position as "window open stop" when its stuck at the bottom. When it stops at the top the motor instantly stops running as if the position is correct. For the life of me I cant see any sensors that register the windows position (I guess it is on current draw and/or computer memory in the module?) and there is no mechanical obstruction when the window is at the bottom. There is no click or activity from the motor at all when the button is pressed up as if the ignition is off. When it does work, it is without groans or complaint at all! I did it late today so didn't disconnect the battery or anything, I only held the button at the top for a few secs to reset, so no major window or BSI resets! I erased the window position memory with planet and both work to the same degree as described above. I'll dive into it in next couple of days, but does anyone have any advice? I'll do my ground up troubleshooting as usual as I have learned to do with my C5!Thanks everyone,

(P.S. I found a parking ticket/subway voucher valid until late '03 (before the car was registered) within the door's structure - I wonder how that got in there, why the voucher was dated near my hometown and not near the factory and why the car needed work that required the door card to come off before it was sold but after it was produced! (I'm guessing it was do do with the 6-pin window connectro that was spliced into to make a slight chnage in wiring) It's perfectly flat and barely faded, someone took a lot of care over it to keep it absolutely perfect, and then it went in the door. Maybe its like the scraps of paper that hold the Western Wall together, and if I put it back in, the windows will work!!)
