GTI Electric window Switch for non-GTI Golf
« on: 15 August 2008, 20:23 »
Hi Guys,

I have just brought myself a 93 mk3 golf (grey, 1.4, 3 door) and the drivers side electric window doesn't work.  I've half sorted the problem - 2 wires from the chassis were cut.  The other part of the problem was the switch.

I've got a switch from a GTI (don't have any more details) which fits my door panel but not the wiring (yet).

Can anyone tell me how to wire a GTI elec window switch to a non GTI golf?

Even if someone could tell me what wire colours meant what would be a start - The car has a Red (spits into 4), Brown (splits into 4), Black with Blue stripe (to the motor), Blue with black stripe (to the motor), Grey, and a black (both I think go to the passenger side door)

I guess the switch off the GTI takes out the necessity to split the cables into 4, as there are only 6 connectors on the switch, but there are 12 wires (inc spplits)

ANY information would be greatly appreciated

BTW, I cannot find a single wiring diagram that either makes sense or seems to match my model

many thanks

I would have thought an electric window switch would be the same on a GTi and non-GTi  :huh: I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

You stand corrected

Sorry, couldn't resist.  The old original switch came with 12 pins, the new one has 6

I'm gonna try an get the multimeter out and attempt to draw a schematic of the new switch
