    Window issue, only moves about an inch at a time

    Hoping someone can help shed some light on a fault thats just developed on my MY19.

    Replaced the drivers window regulator about 5 months ago (and since then all the other 3), straight forward job and all had been well since until yesterday when pressing the down button the window only moves about an inch and a relay clicking (single time on, window moves and inch, then single click off sound) from the door area.

    Stripped off the door card again and then removed the control module and sensor, giving them a c=good clean and used contact cleaner on the pins to ensure they're all good Did the same with the motor connector as well, plus the main door card connector. Alas, no different.

    Have tried battery reset (disconnect battery, wait, reconnect and reset all windows) but again the same issue persists. It'll move down about an inch and stop, and keep pressing down will keep the window moving down. Same with the up, lift the switch and the window will move upwards about an inch and stop, keep lifting the switch and the window will keep lifting.

    Engine running, no power issues. No broken wires noted. No blockages on the tracks.

    Sounds like the windows just need recalibrating...hold the window switch in the up position for 3-5 secs once the windows are fully raised. Each separate window has to be calibrated this way...but you can do them all from the drivers door switch panel.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I did go through that after battery disconnect - recalibrate windows, roof and tailgate. No difference sadly.

    I’ve got it booked for tomorrow for diagnostic, see if that throws up anything helpful
