Rear electric windows not working. FIXED!

Post by Vantman »

Both of the rear windows on my TZi are refusing to work. There has been no intermittent failures,one day they were working,the next time nothing at all. Thankfully they are both in the closed position!

My lmited electrical knowledge has has allowed me to ascertain that there is live feed at number 6 fuse,according to my handbook,but no feed at all at both switches in the centre console.

Could this be failure of a relay (if fitted) or just a simple thing like a broken cable somewhere between the fuseboard and the switches?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Brian.

Relay 2 needs to close when the ignition is ON to enable the rear windows.

The GT has the same issue it seems as the fuse is fine but its not working, where did you get your relay from.

Thanks

Not sure from which particular vehicle Tim,as it came from a box of assorted relays that my mechanic removes from vehicles that are going for scrap. Sorry i am unable to help.

No worries Brian

I will have a look and see if I have a spare, if not I am sure they are fairly easy to locate.

Nice timing this question, one of my Tizzy Dee rear windows has just stuck down for SWMBO whilst I was on here, remembered this from last week so went to technical section to quickly find this, jumped up went out to the car wiggled relay 2 and shut the window with an exclamation from SWMBO "Is there nothing you don't know about that car" :D Thanks guys. :wink:
