If it's the same problem I had then it's broken wires in the harness between the drivers door and the car itself. I managed to pull the rubber back far enough to find the broken ones and 'bridge' them. Dealer wanted over £200 to replace and it is a well known fault according to them!!
cheers, Len

Like the new concept of the ignition coil (directly connected to the spark plugs) which is another failure. If broken, it ruins the motormanagement.
When my drivers-side electric windows began working only randomly an electrician pulled that black harness back and immediately pointed at the broken wire.
He soldered it together and said sometimes its a permanent fix, other times its just temporary.
Cost of the new harness (a very well known weakness on both Pug and Citroen): £50 Cost of labour to replace it on a Pug (wiring codes are for a Citroen, you have to match each wire up for around 3 hrs): £100
So far (touch wood) windows have been reliable for ~2 weeks.
