Hi michael

Check the switch first, also check the fuse posts then check the connectors behind the door cover
had issues with both windows on my car, switch on passenger side, connectors the other with a bit of a clean up of the contacts all is good, also lube the window channels with a silicon spray this helps the windows slide easier and takes a little strain of the electrics they dont have to work so hard.

thanks glen, i changed the switch a few times , so i assume that isn't it, i will check the connectors in the morning.
