MK3 electric windows
« on: 14 March 2014, 13:28 »
Hi
Neither of my rear windows work at all, I am thinking this is just the usual knackered motors.
The switch clicks but then nothing.
This has been like it for ages, I'm not too worried as no-one ever goes in the back.

Last week the drivers window stopped working :angry:, no click at all from the door switch. Is this likely to be a new switch required? maybe the relay? or just yet another motor.

cheers

How old is the car?

Might be worth checking the wiring in the doors. They usually breakinside to door rubber grommets

It's a 1995 N reg.

I will have a look at the wiring.
I'm doing a bit of a service tomorrow anyhow.
