Elec windows (another thread)

[RallyRaddo 0]

None of the previous threads have helped in my case, though I was able to locate the seperate in line 20a fuse which keeps blowing.

 

Symptoms: Pass door window stck open about 4"

 

I have removed the door card and expected to see 3 wires to the electric window motor (Common earth, live for up & live for down) There are only 2 wires, so am assuming the motor is earthed via the various mounting bolts holding it to the door and the 2 wires (Blue & Black) are live (1 for up & 1 for down)

 

 

Checked the blue & black with a multimeter and got continuity between them. Pretty sure that shouldn't happen, so pulled the plug off at the motor and again, continuty between the 2 poles.

 

Tried a direct feed from the battery (+ & -) Earthed the door with the negative wire:

 

A. Nothing happened when touching the black wire

B. Sparks when touching the blue wire

 

No wiring diagram for elec windows in the "Lindsay Porter" Manual (Biggest waste of time that publication is by the way) so I am pretty stumped on how to get the glass up. I did try pushing the window up manually, but that's not budging at all.

 

Looked at the manufacturers name on the motor "Electric lift", from Italy. Googled but nothing found.

 

 

is there a possibility the actual motor has burned out and that's the reason for the continuity between the 2 wires and me not being able to manually push the window up?

 

Any idea's or suggestions gratefully appreciated.

 

Thanks

But! There again, a nice wiring diagram of the Power Door /Window, Fuse/Relay layout might be cheaper to look at and fault find the problem.

 

Don't you just love trawling through the Internet for info that's free? yep, can you tell I am from Aberdeen...........

I was right, there ARE only 2 wires going into the window motor, so at least Previous Owner Noxxx has not got his hands on that part of the car.

 

Next task I think, is to find where the Power Window Control Unit is hiding.

 

Pretty surprised to see the central locking wiring is tied into the same loom as the electric windows

 

Ah, the joys of electrics!!
