Many, many thanks for posting that link, Arctic, I'll give it (that pulling the fuse when window is half way down routine), a go tonight.
And thanks for the support to resolve this, both. Appreciated.

Hi, to advise that this fix doesn't work and it looks like I'll be off to see the nice folks at P&R cars in Leeds to reset the sensor sometime soon.

Thanks for all the support to get this resolved 'though, much appreciated indeed.

David

'I only went and fixed it, I only went and fixed it'

I had an hour to tinker with this problem this afternoon and had another go using the 'pull-the-fuse-while-the-window-is-in-motion' routine.

The advice on the link from the US forum is only half the story. In a nutshell, to reset the window park sensors you have to do the pull the fuse routine twice, once when the window is opening and repeat it when it's closing. The window now parks successfully when it finishes opening or closing.

As an aside, I stripped the old unit and there are two (yes, two!) circuit boards in it, one sitting just under the switches and a larger one beneath it, vertically. All very clever but not user maintenance friendly. I'm glad I made the choice to locate a second hand unit, I very much doubt I could have rectified the old one.

That's great news and value added info on the "complete procedure". I do enjoy a happy ending.

Hi Mistero, Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but can I ask a seemingly silly question please - is it necessary to detach the battery when you do this procedure (Drivers Door Switch Set)?

I don't think Mistero is still here.

To answer your question - No. Just unplug the switch module before you mess with it. The circuit is protected, so the worst you can do is blow a fuse. If you are still worried, then go ahead and disconnect the battery.
