    After opening the window in the rear left door, I couldn't close it.
    Diagnosis: broken cables between the pillar and the door.
    I disconnected the wire connecting the harness to the door.
    After removing the door trim, I directly connected the power supply to the glass motor wires:
    to red - thick wire connected " + "
    on the thick brown wire - "
    additionally connected to gray +
    The engine is good - the window should close.
    I succeeded.

    Does it work at all or not ???? .If it does not work again, tapping the beam or checking the closing keys.

    Check if there is voltage to the engine when you press the keys, maybe as a colleague writes above, the wires are broken. Maybe you got a fuse blown, so it's also worth taking a look at it.

    As Ociz wrote, I did not write about the repair but how to deal with closing the window in an emergency.
    For those interested as I repaired the next day:
    as I wrote before, the wires were broken between the pillar and the back door.
    I unplugged the plug from the socket in the door, then carefully cut the rubber cable cover in the middle with a wallpaper knife, dividing it into two halves. I cut each half of the rubber cover lengthwise (only the notched part) and turned it outside, which allowed free access to the wires. In the place of damage (breaks) I cut all the wires across (only two were all the rest broken) I shortened the wires by damaged parts (about 3 mm on each side) so that each of the wires had the same length. I isolated each wire from bundles over a length of about 5mm, cleaned the copper wires from black coating by gently scraping with a paper knife, which made it easier to whiten them with tin. I put heat shrink on the prepared wires and then soldered the wires. I pulled the shirts on the connection points but did not shrink them (shrunken shirts then become stiff and I was afraid that this may cause unnecessary stress which may expose the wires to breaking in another place). I put the prepared wires in a corrugated rubber cover which I connected by wrapping with insulating tape. After connecting to the socket in the door and replacing the blown fuse, everything works.

    In my opinion, the fault will come back to you fairly quickly, by shortening the wires and the appearance of seams in the place where the cable worked the most. Unfortunately, it is best in this case to replace the beam section from the plug to the interior of the car so that the new cable "bends" in the grommet.

    Exactly as the previous speaker wrote, this is a perfect solution (although PLN 150 for that is quite a lot).

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a closure issue with the rear left window of an Opel Zafira A, attributed to broken cables between the door and the pillar. The user successfully diagnosed the problem by disconnecting the wire harness and directly connecting the power supply to the window motor, confirming its functionality. Follow-up responses suggest checking for voltage at the motor, inspecting fuses, and addressing potential recurring faults by replacing the damaged wire section instead of merely repairing it. A repair kit for the wiring is also recommended as a more permanent solution.
