  1. Spot on :) After delving into the dashboard for fuses and relays, I was looking under the bonnet for relays. My problem was at first, intermittent fault with the indicators. Then the central locking didn't work, along with the interior lights and upper tail gate stop lamp. As I was poking around your post came to mind and I thought I'd check that wire I'd assumed was part of the tow bar wiring, fitted before I bought it. I realised the wire was actually part of the loom so touched it on the battery and our lad, inside the car, piped up "indicators are working and the interior lights. Not sure why this wire appears like an afterthought and doesn't connect with the rest of the loom (?) With so many separate malfunctions, I should have guessed there'd be a common signal wire but it took your post to fix our car. Thanks ;)
  2. Hi all, I have a 99 2.3 si on 69k miles, my second Galaxy but the first time I've had a problem I can't fathom. I hope someone can help. A couple of years ago we had a prang which damaged the drivers door. I picked up an Alhambra door from a local breaker, it came empty, so I had to change all my galaxy parts over to the new door. Problem is, as the glass is lowering it goes through a stiff spot about half way down and the motor sounds strained but it's the best I've managed to set the glass clamps yet. Same again on the way up. In the past it's gone up the outside of the seal while driving, which triggered the auto drop function, so had to pull over to sort it. That's just one instance from a small list of "AAAAARGH not again" moments which lead me to leaving the door card off until I sort it. So without any bits of tape or marker pens, my questions; how do I set the glass in the clamps in their correct position? Are there any guide blocks or buffers that can be placed wrong? I'm pretty sure the mechanism flies up the tracks with no glass in, which is why I assume it's to do with either guide blocks, the mechanism itself out of position or, most likely IMO, the clamps not set right. I tried wedging the glass in the closed position, then winding the mechanism up to get the clamps in the best place but then found there's no aperture for a screw driver. Thanks in advance :)
