Electric Window

[Dalbir]

:rolleyes: My cars NSR electric window has just packed in. It doesn't work from the drivers side switch nor the switch on the actual door and nor does it wind up and down via the key (when the rest do). Thankfully its packed up in a closed position.

 

Its a Mk2 2001 Sharan 1.9TDi.

It has been working fine till now, I've never had the door card off or anything. The wiring in the door pillar seems to be in good nick. The front footwells are bone dry

If its the switch can just try swapping the switch from the other rear door.

 

Tried to find out if it has separate fuse for that window, but the fusecard and the owners manual is as clear as mud.

 

Any help most welcome.

Almost certainly door to pillar cabling miy is broken at the mo(well the brown wire is)

 

If your's are obviously broken its still very likely that the wire under the insulation is bust.

 

I'm sure other will be along shortly, in the FAQ's are details on resoldering the cabling etc :rolleyes:

even if they look okay my money would be on a break in the wires inside the insulation inside the rubber boot

thankyou, Ill have look ove the w/e

Really strange as the rubber boot is still in very good condition.

 

Is it just very poor quality wires in there or is there just no slack in the wires or something that

yes its the wiring inside its a combination of poor qualty wires and length of the loom - diffent places have different problems - check the faq for accessing the wires in the rubber boots - click on the red link in my signature.

Just fixed it, It was the thickest wire in loom (red and yellow). Funny how the thickest wire snaps. What poor poor quality.

 

Thanks to all for helping me out
