Electric windows go down but not up!
« on: 21 April 2010, 14:50 »
Right guys bit of an issue here!

I'm trying to install my alarm when i must have connected some wrong wires...i heard a little pop and sure enough i blew a fuse. Looked through the fusebox an found it was number 20. This did the inside electrics, replaced and now is all good.

BUT now with the buttons i can only get the windows to go down and not up! if i leave the key in the door they go up and down...so i know it's not the regulators have i blown a relay?

Help please!!!  :sad:

Nope, they only go down. If i press up it stops them going down (normal)

I thought relay but can't find anything about them?

I'm looking around and can't find a fcuking thing!  :grin:

Looks like soldering iron will be out tomorrow and i will be pulling everything out! :grin:

I guess when i press the button to just see which one is clicking? Or is that the motor that clicks?

No relays all done internal to the motor electrics.

You cut through a wire somewhere?

Taken the connections off and back on?

Had this problem in mine about three weeks ago.. turned out to be the pins in the drivers door switch were loose in the multiplug and not making a good enough connection to the switch. Try and get yourself some form of power probe and attempt to operate the windows using that. Failing that a short piece of wire to complete the circuits should sufice.
