A couple of gremlins...thoughts please

[ascottaudio]

My 2007 Calais has just developed a couple of minor issues and I am hoping some fellow owners can set me on the right path.

1) Front passenger window (when down) went half way up then back down again..a bit of wobbling the switch got it to go all the way up..New power window switches????

2) Rear passagner door (drivers side) will not unlock when all the other doors unlock..I can see it "trying"..I hpoe that givng it a spray with WD40 will do the trick but I dont know how to take the door panel off..

Any advise on these would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I found a thread on removal of the front door trim..guess the rear is similar..

How to: Remove VE door trim (not dial-up friendly)

worth trying to give it a spray?..

Does the passenger window have auto up and down?

My drivers window does this (on my calais both fronts are auto). Does it intermittently only on drivers side though.

Try a relearn, this only works on windows with the auto up and down function.


• Press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully DOWN.
• Continue holding the power window switch for approximately 3 seconds.
• Press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully UP.
• Continue holding the power window switch for approximately 3 seconds.
• The power window regulator motor is now programmed for the express function.
• Repeat this process for all of the power windows.

If that doesnt fix it the window may be jamming so wind it down and look down the runners to see if theres an obstruction or the seal has folded over or something. If all looks fine spray some silicone lube in the window tracks to reduce the resistance.

I wish holden programmed a wheel alignment relearn into the VE. Just steer full left and hold for 3 seconds, then steer full right and hold for 3 seconds. Now blow horn for 2 seconds and pump brake pedal 8 times.

Thats the exact sequence to initiate the self destruct program.

I think it's fixed mine? Only did it intermittently before, hasnt done it since.
