Problem overview

Some Jaguar S-Type owners report experiencing issues with passenger and rear windows that only operate from the main switch. These problems may stem from the window's electrical system, including potential fuse or relay issues. Additionally, a broken window motor or window regulator could be the cause. In some cases, owners find that the rear passenger side window only functions when the driver door is wide open, indicating a possible connection issue or faulty switch. To troubleshoot, some owners suggest disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 10 minutes to reset the system. Furthermore, if the driver's switch bank malfunctions, it may require actions like opening and shutting the door or locking and unlocking the car for the windows to operate. Before removing the motor, it is advisable to check the continuity of the wires in the door using a multimeter to better diagnose the issue.
