@RichardV6 - yes some time ago I did try a 10A fuse and that blew instantly too, hence feeling that is was a proper short as opposed to a current requirement of 5.5A / 6A which was just a little too much for the 5A fuse to cope with.
@PaulF - I'll definitely have a look at this although it's not immediately apparent whether there are separate plugs to come out of the control module to the window. It appears as though the multi-plug does both jobs IE power in and control out etc. Therefore whilst it appears I've narrowed the issue down to the drivers door side of the car I'm still yet to work out if it is a wiring issue or an internal failure of the control module. Hopefully I'll discover some bare wire somewhere that I've not looked before - you know that experience when your trying to find something that you've looked for ten times already in the same place!
