No Electric Windows Or Central Locking and fuse keeps blowing - Check this

Recommended Posts

I am writing this to hopefully save many other Corrado owners the frustrations i have had over the past 2 weeks, driving the car with no central locking and electric windows, in this lovely weather we have been having.

 

My cars a 1995 VR6 on a M plate.

 

Been having issues for a while where the fuse for the electric windows and central locking keeps blowing.

 

Picture of said fuse is attached,

 

I thought the issue was linked to my alarm which seems be be going wrong for a long time, so arranged to have a new one fitted.

 

Again this did not resolve the issue and the auto technician was out around 2 hours trying to find the fault and was unable to.

 

Electrician left and when he came to do the alarm the windows were up now one of them was down. So now was in a bit of a dilemma.

 

Started looking at all components on that, circuit so followed the wire down from the fuse board which then is spliced into 3 separate looms. Spliced this to isolate which loom was shorting out.

 

So after hours of searching, traced it to the drivers door, where the loom meets the door the plastic gromet had dropped and cut through all the wires, all soldered. Fuse was still blowing.

 

Then traced the issue back to the door actuator basically soon as i connected this it was shorting. The central locking worked, but soon as i plugged the loom in for the electric windows it blows.

 

Not much of a guide but thought id share with people on here as its bound to happen to someone with a corrado sometime or another and i couldn't find any info on this particular fault
