Re: Eletric windows
Sounds like the switches are nackered.

Am I a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? Well that depends on how much I've had to drink...

Re: Eletric windows
Try a spare switch from a breakers yard, double check the fuses, just because it looks ok, doesnt mean it is, you can get hairline breaks in fuses.
Do the switches still light up? if not, should be a duff fuse.
Change the fuse for another, could save you £30 an hour.

Re: Eletric windows
If you got load of spares it isnt going to cost you anything at all, just 5 minutes time.

Re: Eletric windows
Most likely fused the resistor pack on the switch.
Swap the switches out and start from there.

Re: Eletric windows
If the switch is out, then the door is open, you wouldnt need windows if your drive around with the doors open.Cormach wrote:The grey door pin on the car which goes in when the door close has to be out for thwindows to work. .if its in they don't work.think I need a new front and rear switch
Did you try that spare switch?
