Window problem

It does look like it. just to be 100% sure, disconnect the motor at the connectors and test the entire switch circuit by putting your test light where the motor would be. Assuming all well, how easy does it look to remove the motor? Once off, squirt 12v though it to check it before throwing it. No idea what new ones cost or even if available, but Grublogger will have one.
When replacing the card, getting the middle of the card clip in place is a bit of a sod. The card has to be pushed inwards as well as downwards quite firmly to engage it. If you have not engaged it, the card middle will flap about so you will know...

Disconnected the Wires 100% Juice getting to the motor.
Even hard wired it to a 12volt Battery but no dice!

I hit the metal panel with a big rubber hammer and it WORKS!
Thank You So Much!
You have just saved me a fortune!

OB
Proceed as follows:
I suggest you make 100% sure that the leads that attach to the motor have power from the switch before you strat undoing anything in the door!
Good luck, but I have to say you tempted the XJS Goddess by starting to think about bling - keeping the lady happy in standard form is usually quite enough strain on self, bank account and patience!

Proceed as follows:
- Disconnect battery
- Open door and unscrew from the door front end the chrome striker plate that operates the courtesy light switch
- ease back the chrome ferrule that is round the thin end of the armrest. Under this is a HUGE pozi screw that you must undo
- under the door pocket front end is a well hidden screw, undo it
- then go round the door car and pop out the trim clips that hold the card edges in place. Start at the bottom front and work up the front vertical edge to the window, then go along the door bottom and up the rear edge to the window
- the car is now held in place by a large clip in the middle and by the edge along the window bottom. A GOOD vertical upward sharp clonk with the base opf the hand on the card will pop these free. CAREFUL as the door card is attached to the speaker wires and the courtesy light wires, AND in your case it being the driver's door the mirror switch wires.
- disconnect these carefully at their plugs. Get the GF/postman/passer by etc etc to hold the card while you do this as you will need two hands.
I suggest you make 100% sure that the leads that attach to the motor have power from the switch before you strat undoing anything in the door!

In that case I should start with one of these!
