Re: Electric Windows Total Closure

I was wondering with the total close not working and the scotch connectors.It might be down to the scotch lock connectors not contacting properly.

Do I have to connect the deadlock wire also for the total closure to work?

Re: Electric Windows Total Closure

The remote fob should still total close the front windows though,shouldn't it.

Is the scotch lock connectors good for connecting wires,or should I solder wires together instead.

Re: Electric Windows Total Closure

Robsey,in the Dan's how 2 he states,join the black/brown wire to the car to make the full closure to work.He does not state which colour wire you have to join the black/brown to.

Re: Electric Windows Total Closure

Ok.I will keep trying myself to see if I have done anything wrong.

The wire in the 5 pin on the Astra connector is red/yellow but it still should work.

Is there a certain way to use the remote fob to total close the windows?

Re: Electric Windows Total Closure

So is it that black/blue wire (the only black/blue wire in pic) that is for deadlocking car with remote?

I might go get a Vectra plug from scrap yard bc the pins look too thin for put a female cable connector to fit on.

Re: Electric Windows Total Closure

So I could use a female cable connector,a length of wire (brown/black) and connect to the left plug socket and solder other end to the brown/black wire on central locking connector.

Re: Parcel Shelf Straps

I bought new Vectra A (you maybe aware that the Vectra A is the Mk3 Cavalier) parcel shelf straps for £5.19 delivered.These straps don't even sag ,they are taut.

Should new straps be taut?
