[s-cars] Window winds down magically - '96 S6

[chris chambers]

Ian,

I would check the wires in the door jam in the driver's door.

The wires are "protected" by a rubber "sleeve" and are prone to
cracking/breaking. It's possible you have a wire that has cracked and
is either shorting out to the body or contacting another wire and
supplying power to the motor.
