Electric window fault

[cliffcoggin]

The O/S/F electric window of my 2007 A3 sometimes loses the automatic function which allows a brief press on the switch to completely open or close it. I can still operate the window by holding the switch down or up so the motor and switch are clearly still working, but I need to reset the automatic function (by holding the switch up for two seconds after closure,) more and more frequently. The Haynes manual gives no clue about how this automatic function is controlled. Does anybody here know?

Sounds like a bad window switch .

Why do say that? Does the switch incorporate a latching circuit?
