If i'm not mistaken there is no fuse for the electric windows.

The best thing to do is take the door cards off and check if your getting power to the window motors. If not then it might be a wiring problem  :smiley:

Do they click or make any noise when you operate the windows :smiley:

Could be broken wiring in the door looms.

Fixed mine last week...The plastic runner had broken and was slipping on the wire.

Get the motor and gubbins out and you can tell right away,there will be a notch in the wire, if there is not a plastic clip round it, thats your problem...

Could be a break in the loom in that case.

Both my front drivers window and rear window stopped working today...checked manual...no individual fuse for either side...was gonna post a thread but did a quick search first...did u solve ur problem? Surprised both went at the same time down the same side...is the rear door supplied from the drivers door?

Prob a wiring fault!
