5K Window Problem

[rob hod]

    the remote switches have a seperate live feed that they use, the two
feed wires from the master switch are used as earth when the remote siwtch
is operated. All three must be in order for the remote swithc to wrok up and
down. You need to check  you drivers door loom as it is most likely the live
12v feed to that particular door remote that is broken in the drivers door
trunking.
