Drivers side window/ switch issue

Hi all, had a search and found a few couple of old threads but wondered if anyone has had a similar problem recently.

My drivers side window switch no longer operates any of the windows on my 5 door 6J (It lights up and all other electrics in the door are fine)
The other 3 windows all work ok on their own switch.

Holding the key open/closed doesn’t do anything but I don’t have comfort windows so that may be normal.

After a week I randomly noticed the window lock button was illuminated, turned that off and it all worked until I used the car again.

I’ve tried a new switch and it makes no difference, From what I can see the wires by the door hinge look intact.

Can a failed motor stop the whole switch pack from working or is it more likely a wiring issue in the door somewhere?

If motor, can that be changed without removing the whole regulator?

Thanks

Did you manage to fix it? Having the same issue for weeks but no solution yet

I've not actually got round to sorting it yet. I'd left the panel off for a while with the switch connected and months later tried it and it randomly worked. I put it back together properly when MOT time came and it stopped working again, I suspect there's a broken wire in the door somewhere. That'll be fun to identify!
