Hi Guys

I trust everyone is doing good..
I need some help.

I recently changed my driver side window motor about 3 months ago with a new one.

Now its stuck on open and refuses to close
This happened 2 weeks ago and i got my buddy to reset it and it worked fine, but now its stuck on open again.

Can anyone direct me on what to do or who can assist me with coding it if that's what needs to be done.

Thanks

Hi

Yes can hear the motor.
Took the car to Bmw they want to book it in R1950,00 per hour and they say its a sensor inside the motor thats blown so therefor its going into protection mode.

Power it directly to close the window then troubleshoot

HI

Yes the switch was checked and all in order.
Bmw confirmed they will assist with the 1 hour free , but we must pay for the parts.
