    Default My VT needs you HELP

    Hi all
    Hoping someone can help me out on a few issues.Just purchasedmy VT SS but have since got a few issues.My damn rear power window has stuck.Well it didnt work for a while until my misses mate sat in the back and now the damn thing wont go back up.Is there any way to get this to stay up?hope it doesnt sound like a stupid question but i want to save a bit of coin for a few bevvies watching footy on weekend.Another issue is a warning light that comes on from time to time,to do with the powertrain i think,but it only comes on now and then.
    Any thoughts are appreciated

    Defiently take it to Holden I reckon,power train warning light generally isn't a good thing.

    When the engine warning light comes on it will log a fault code. You can read the fault codes and find out what is wrong. The link below will tell you how to read fault codes.
    Checking error codes VT/VX
    As for the stuck window, you will need to remove the door trim and have a look inside, Maybe a broken wire or a stuffed regulator motor. Check with a multimeter or test lamp to see if the motor gets power when you press the window switch. Connect 12 volts directly to the regulator motor terminals to see if it works, if so you can get the window up at least.

    imo dont take it to holden, sure they can diagnose it... but so can many other mechanic workshops
