Window computer glitchy

[mjbrox]

A number of years ago my window module stopped working and I made a repair. It?s been glitchy since but the front window always worked. If I wanted other windows to work, I could reach in there and wiggle wires. Most recently nothing was working so Last night I put a new module from a parts truck. The sun roofs a and driver window now work.

So three questions

- is there?s way to make those plugs easier?

- is it possible my plugs are bad? Or does it have to be the computer?

- can I repair or test my module? I guess I could borrow my brothers just to see what happens

check the ground for the window ecu
located behind LH footwell trim panel on E201

next the known issue with solder joints in the ecu check those.

Really? That could cause such random issues?

window ecu have had issues for many years
so much so that finding a "new" window lift ecu has become harder and harder for a decent price.

Ye, it was one of the first parts I pulled from the parts truck
