Door Wires Diagram

[ianyerman]

does anyone have a diagram for the electric windows / door piller wires?

 

the problem is my passangers window wont go down from any switch, but if i try to put it up you can see the dash lights dimming as it trys to go up (it aint down!!)

if I press the button down about 30 times the window goes down and works fine untill i switch the keys off, then its back to pressing the button about 30 times and that might not even work.

 

had a quick look for broken wires but couldnt see any.

 

thanks

dosent sound like a wire try lubricating the edges of the window liquid soap may help or silicone spray if lights are dimming it shows motor is taking current

Does this help ?

If the lights are dimming then something is drawing a current, it won't be a direct short either as the fuse would blow so I would be more inclined to suggest you have a faulty motor/mechanism or its mis-aligned somehow rather then an electrical fault. Take the door panel off and have a look for missing bolts or foreign objects in the mechanism. As above soapy water may help but its more likely a something mechanical playing up rather then just sticking glass as a window motor takes a reasonable amount of force to stall it - unless its frozen of course?

I would suggest looking harder !

 

Try wiggling the wires where they pass through the gaiter into the door at the same time as pressing the button.

i had a similer problem it was a frayd wire it runs in the track from top to bottom its like a brake cable wire you get on a bike

thanks guys for the help but on the lights dimming when pressing the button is on the way up and nothing when pressing down?

i would definitely look harder given you get nothing in one direction - the lights dimming ion the other only indicates current being drawn - maybe not in the motor but in a partial short in the wires

hello

could it not be a faulty switch, contacts burnt out or dirty, if you gain access to the window motor wires, there will be two of them, put a bulb accross them

and operate the switch, the bulb should light in both directions of the switch, or try the switch from the other side,
