Hi,
My front driver side window panel is not controlling the windows anymore, it does control the mirrors and the door lock
the windows themselves are responding from the passengers side - so I'm pretty sure its the panel

A new one costs ~250e ... a lot !! :(

Does someone knows of a guide on how to dissassemble it so I can clean it ?
I cant seem to find a replacement part online on ebay / other parts websites - does anyone knows where I can find a used one online ?
I saw that a C5 is very similar to that - even has the same connectors...does anyone knows if it will fit ?

Thanks :)

Hi

The C3 does share parts with the C5 and some Peugeot models. I have found, if it looks the same and the plug is the same (exactly) then you have a very good chance of it working .


You can't strip down and clean these things.

Hi,
It actually looks like the peugeot 308 is the similar part - almost went with the c5 but it does have a different connector
it is encouraging to hear that there is a good chance it will work, thanks!

regarding cleaning - i though about something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joBmMgCX1tw


If the replacement part won't fit - I will give this a shot ...
