Electric Window Fault Won't Go Back Up

[shelbournes]

Once again ...help needed

1996 ford (bloody) galaxy 2.0i L n reg

 

Still got this car ...don't know why

anyway

 

I have a problem with the electric windows

when you press the down buttons on the drivers

door the passenger window and drivers window goes downwith no problems

BUT when you press the up buttons on the

drivers side or passenger side

nothing happens

 

You have to close the windows by turn the key

in the lock when the doors closed and they will go up then

 

I have checked the switch and there is defiantly nothing wrong with that

 

I have recently fixed a lock problem

so I could have done something wrong then

but have traced all the connections and they all seam to be fine

 

What I really would like to know is

which relay runs the windows (if there is one)

or any other suggestions to a cause

 

thanks for all your help in advance

king regards to you all

Usual suspects are

Broken wires in the wiring loom at door gaiters

 

Switches, (does the passenger door side work ok? How do you know switches are definitely ok?)

When you say the passenger side do you mean the passenger switch on the drivers side or the one on the passenger door.

 

The module for windows is under the passenger seat, well known for water ingress.

 

Is it unlikely to be a relay if they work in the up direction?

 

The fact that you had the door card off (presumably) does suggest that something has been disturbed since you did the lock. Have they actually worked ok since doing the work?

I have a similar problem - rear passenger window will only go up on switch not with key on global closing unless the loom to the door is wiggled - there is a broken wire in there somewhere but have not had time to fix yet. The wires for global opening/closing appear to be different than for normal operation - which was a surprise to me.

thanks so much

the double switch on the driver side only allows the windows to go down

the single switch on the passenger side only lets the windows goes down too

 

so none of the 3 up switches work (ie 2 drivers side 1 on passenger)

 

before replacing the lock handle they had intermittant faults

but now they have gone completly

 

I have checked under the passenger seat and it is bone dry

so I don't think the problem is there

 

 

the wiring in the drivers door all appears to be o.k.

the switches have all been tested with a multi meter and all pins are working

I will try to work out which two wires run the down button on the doors and

check those wires individually

 

does anyone know whether there is a relay (I.E> which number) for the windows

as I feel it coulg possibly be a fault there

 

Thanks again for your help and support

had a quick look at TIS andf cant find separate relays (not always easy to trace wiring with TIS) it appears that the windowmotors are incoporated in what Ford call a 'Multifunction unit'

 

 

given that the problem was intermittent before you had the door card off and now wont work I am even more strongly suspicious of a break in the wires inside the insulation (given the age of the car as well)
