Get the lock checked, it might be misalligned, take it to the A S S they will fix it, if you need a cheaper fix take it to a local door lock repair guy.

This happens mostly if the fuel lid was taken out for getting the pain to match the shade, first try getting aligning it.

Check the AC belt tension, usually that is the culprit.

Check if there is any whining noise once you press the button, the channels might be jammed. IF you are a DIY guy, open the door pads (its very simple) Use the working driver side switch to individually check each power window. If that does fix the problem, you need new switches( may be servicing can help) but if that does not work, you need to either replace the mechanism or the winder motor, this should be easily available in the used market it a fraction of cost, also change the channels, cause they might restrict the moment. cost depends upon where you get it from should be with in 4-5k for used and up to 10k for new.

As far as i know this is not easily available, but check the A S S as this part is common in all lancers (even in some cedias). and it is lil expensive should set you back by 10k

Try inter changing the bulbs, check the holders, check for the fuses and relays. DO this for all lights

Ask A S S to disassemble the right side and check.

Your car seems to have a lot of electrical problems get them checked only at the A S S, everything sounds related, BTW new one cost 30k

Get the car scanned, could be an idling issue or could be bad engine mounts. it can do this even if the cat con is clogged, bypassing it is easy.

Apart from all these I need to get the servicing done. My requirement would be to get all the above jobs and servicing done under one single roof by a professional and a good workshop. Since I reside in Bombay(Andheri) what are my options. Should I get the car serviced and do all the work at Aquest Auto at Kalina (Authorised Service Centre)? has anyone had an experience of getting their lancer serviced and repaired from an Authorised Serviced centre?(i know it works out costly but will the work give me a piece of mind)
Awaiting your valuable responses.

Its better to do the first service at A S S to understand all the issues. get all the sensors checked.
Finally congrats for your purchase once all the issues are fixed you would simply love this car. i have mine for more than 12 years now.
