Hi everyone,

First, just like to say, what a great site - alot of useful info. Now am not exactly knowledgeable in cars so I was hoping if anybody can give me a dummies guide to fixing my problems with my ford focus V (1999) reg zetec car:

(a) Passenger window button
The button on the passenger side window does not work, however I am able to open/close the passenger window on the drivers side button - can anybody tell me if there is a quick fix for this?? and if so, please can you provide a detailed explanation.

(b) Passenger door lock
The central locking doesnt seem to work no-longer as it seems that the passenger side lock does not seem to want to lock anymore - when i lock the car at the drivers side, all doors lock except for the passenger side and given this case, all doors will open again. I have to lock the car by placing the key in the passenger door. Has anybody experienced this situation?

Any help would be much appreciated!!!!

I had a problem similar to this and found that if the door was open the elec window would work, with door closed it would not, problem was the cable going from car to door was damaged ( cable is always flexing with door opening and closing ), repaired cable all worked OK
