So it number 12 with 5 flashs on the 16 point code reader socket. 12 - 5 = Left front door actuator , open Circuit. Any clues? Must be something simple because its been happening for years bit never had the window stay down. Rob

Lostkiwi Was moping you would come on here. What do you think about the actuator? Would that have any problem with the window going up and the fault code in #1?. Had this car for 13 years and the window works fine 95% of the time but now its stuck down and will not come up. Think i know what...
