Electric window stopped working, which colour wire do i need to find???
« on: 18 February 2010, 17:49 »
Hi there

My drivers side window has stopped working, could someone advise me which coloured wire i need to locate to check for a split, and also other than the wiring thru the door where else to check to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance :wink:

Get a multimeter and check there is voltage at the wiring plug on the motor when you press the switch. If there is then the motor is probably seized. Also have you swapped the switches around to rule that out.

Managed to check today for the electric motor noise and there is nothing, does this mean just sply replace the motor or could it be something else aswell????

regulater or motor seized most probably if you have voltage at the plug.
Every now and again mine works again so im gonna strip it out on a dry day and see if i can free it up.
