Zombie thread, but had this problem for way too long, and just wanted to add in that this was where my issues lied. After having already replaced literally everything but the door and finding the issue to persist, I circled back to inspecting the wiring. Sure enough, once I inspected the wiring leading into the door, there was the source of the problem.

Note the completely severed red wire (chance it was barely hanging on before I pulled this apart), the brown wire was damaged, and a few others had slight damage. Reconnected everything again, and it's all sorted. Nice to be able to open the window again. Before this repair, everything was working from the drivers door except the drivers window. When hitting the button, I would hear a click, from the motor, but the window wouldn't move. Replaced the switch, the motor, then the window regulator along the way, but nothing changed - was the wiring the whole time, which I had foolishly ruled out early since everything else worked and I at least heard a click from the motor when attempting to engage it.
Looks like I'm joining the club. I'm having the same issue that others have had over the years it seems. My Drivers side window won't go down, when pressing the button I could hear a single click sound and nothing else, no movement, etc. I attempted to pull off the rubber grommet where the wiring harness plugs into the car, but I had difficulty getting the back of it off. I got the 2 front clips out, but I couldn’t get the back clips out, I’m guessing there will be 2 more clips at the back too? I could stretch the front out a bit to have a peek inside and from what I could see, the wires looked okay. I took the door card off, just to check the part number of the window motor which is 8P0959801K. I saw that sometimes there is a issue with the Door Switch, where the window buttons are, how would I be able to tell if there is an issue with those?
I seen people say to check the fuses, but is it a case of if the passenger side window is working it won’t be the fuse as that one should not work too, if it was the fuse?
Related codes. Yep I have an issue with the central locking where I have to put my key into the car to unlock the drivers door and open the passenger door from the inside, but I can leave that to another thread to keep this more on topic of the original post, but maybe these issues together point towards it being more an issue of the wiring.
