I'd try A N Other motor/gearbox & go from there. It'll only take 5/10 mins to swap over.  ;)

If cleaning has no positive result it`s just swapping out the black box containing the pcb, motor can stay ;)

Why bother?  ??? The whole thing is only held by 3 or 4 screws, if you start mauling about removing pcb's you then have to dismantle the whole gubbins ................ just swap the lot.  ;) ;) ;) ;)

     I had help doing some work on the car over the weekend from martin42 on here , as it was getting dark he pointed his remote at his car and was gobsmacked at how it closed all the windows  :o the cat was near by and nearly sh*t itself as it was about to jump in his car  ;D

Probably why the cat got his own back and clawed his leg  :-X

It's a good idea, and I do use it occasionally, but I think it could have been implemented better. Holding the remote button down until everything has closed is irritating, and means you have to stand there and watch it happen. Pressing the lock button twice would have been a better idea.

There are some other good ideas; being able to lock the car with a door open is handy, as is the window controls staying live for a while after the ignition's been turned off.
