[pummer67 0]

i just plugged my central locking back in to the central locking module as something is draining the battery and im trying to elimante one thing after another.after doing this my leccy windows will not work when door is closed but are fine when door is open. they still go up when door is closed when i operate the alarm and central locking button though. i am completly baffled by this. what could it be?

I've seen something about this in the Bentley manual, in the troubleshooting section for electric windows.

 

Says if they work when the door is open, but not when it's closed, then the problem is ___________________

 

Only thing is, I can't remember what that ___________ is... I'll go have a look now for you though

Bentley manual (on page 64.25) says:

 

Glass, Window Regulators

 

Power windows do not operate with driver's door open

 

Test condition

- all other window functions OK

 

LEFT* front door contact switch (F2), checking *(Bentley manual being for USA models, perhaps you need to check the other door)

 

- disconnect battery ground strap

- remove left rear trim panel (again this might be right panel for RHD)

- disconnect connectors T8a (brown), T8b (white) from power window control unit (J 139)

- set multimeter FLUKE 83 (US 1119) to Ohm range

- connect black test lead to terminal 5 of connector T8a (brown) and red test lead to terminal 1 of connector T8b (white)

- open driver's door

 

A - Multimeter reads ? Ohms (no continuity)

 

B - Multimeter reads 0 Ohms (continuity)

 

 

If A

- check and repair wiring according to wiring diagram, or

- replace door contact switch (F2)

- END

 

 

If B

- replace power window control unit (J 139)

- END

 

 

 

I'd have scanned the pages in but my scanner is broke :(
