:cry:
u it looks like the leckie windows fitted to my car is an after market set up as the switches are different. :angry:
They look the same on the front, but the connections are smaller and the mechanism is different inside too. :rolleyes:
anyone know any more info, or more importantly have a set for sale.
-
would it not be possible to take the wiring that is in them, and fit it/doctor it.butcher it to std VW plugs?? theyre used across the board, i got some from an ibiza to fit my sunroof motor switch.. then just use std mk2 switches :smiley:
-
yeah if i want to re plug 12 wires :laugh:
the switches i got fitted are the same from the front, same rocker switch, same picture the lot
just the pin orientation and size is different on the back :cry:
-
Do you have a pic?
I might have the same as you in one of mine and would just like to confirm
-
not right now,
but the genuine one on the back has 3 pins running diagonally across the switch, and all the pins run top to bottom
on the ones i have fitted they are not all top to bottom
if that makes sense :laugh:
-
is it the GSF aftermarket kit.
mine had this when i bought it
do the contacts at the back of the switch all go in a row rather than staggered?
it is easy to rewire and fit genuine switches
-
If they are the GSF aftermarket ones then you can buy the switches separately, I believe.
btw - are the GSF aftermarket electric windows any good? Or from the purist point of view should you only ever fit VAG ones????
-
As purists VAG only. But it depends on how much of a purist you are and how who's cheaper at the end of the day.
-
The Auto Lift ones are absolutely completely fcuking SHOCKING
TBH.
-
right can anyone tell me what wires go where on a standard switch, as the haynes is pants.
the switch pins are numbered on the back.
obviously you have Earths, live, illumination and then live to power up and down.
any help most welcomed, as its costing me a fortune in fuses :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
and aint got a clue on what kit it is.
the picture on the front of the switch is the same as the genuine VW switch :undecided:
-
any use:

:cry: alas no johnny, the pin orientation is different again to my 2 switches :laugh:
but ta all the same, will have a tinker at the weekend, been out under and in the back of it all night
-
noope, more blown fuses.
can someone with lecky windows please tell me what wires gowes to which pin number on the back of there switches
there are 6 pins numbered
2 earths
1 ignition live
1 illumination
1 up selction
1 down
thanks
-
right so you're trying to wire in an oem VW switch then?
1 - white or yel - motor
2 - wht/blk or blk/yel - motor
3 - blk/red - live from relay
4 - brn - earth
5 - blk/red - live from relay
6 - blk/red - live from relay (for switch light, from the factory the window switch lights come on with the ignition not when the lights are on)
Your 2 earth idea is wrong, probably why you keep blowing fuses :grin:
-
erm, i got 2 browns, they are linked :shocked:
but yes, now you know why i am blowing fuses :laugh:
will try again later, and thanks again
and off the top of my head i got a red, black, ( they are the up and down selction wires ) a grey ( illumination ) the 2 brown earths that are linked and a ignition live ( colour - ant remember )
but if those are the pin numbers, i shall go from there. :laugh:
-
ah i think aftermarket ones have 2 earths where vw do not...
-
fudge it, windy handles will be going back in at this rate :laugh:
-
just splice both earths to 1 pin as above, you'll be cookin on gas ;)
-
will try again now i know whats where, just got to go get more fuses :laugh:
-
well i had to jump the feed wire to another pin :laugh: but it now goes up and down :grin:
So thats a lot mate. Muchus thankos :cool:

coolness :cool:
