Passenger Electric Window

[breen77]

The box under the passenger seat is for parking sensors, nothing to do with windows.

 

Have you checked wiring for continuity and voltage with a multimeter.

Is the box under the passenger seat not for central locking as well??

 

Have checked the cables as in he door gaiters haven't got a multimeter thing and not sure how to operate one!!!

 

Car was really bad yesterday morning with condensation on windscreen from the leak might change the pollen filter can this leak in itself as no water gathering in the scuttles??

 

Really hate this car now luv the space but when issues go wrong with it a complete disaster!

It was only early Mk1's that had a controller for windows under the seat, Mk2's have the parking sensor controller and front sounder under the seat.

Each door motor is a combined controller.

The two large wires carry the current that drive the motor but smaller wires control from the switches

Thanks for the info

 

So wot would be the issues with the central locking key only locking drivers door fuel cap and boot plus doesn't always lock/open car???

 

Could the window be linked to this as well??

That sounds very much like an issue with either the supply or ground side. If you can get hold of a multimeter (even a cheap one from amazon would be adequate) then it would help as you can check the voltage and resistance (i'd suspect your receiving some power but not as much as you should be, probabbly down to a partially broken/corroded wire). I'd suggest starting with checking the resistance of the larger wires first (find an exposed end and set the meter to the ohms setting and touch both ends - with it disconnected from the supply if you can).

 

Have you taken the connector apart (the large toothed wheel will turn allowing you to seperate it from the car body, but you may find the connector then disappears inside the bodywork if the retaining ring comes off, so be aware of that). Are the pins ok there? (no melting or corrosion)

 

Bearing in mind the water issue, it would also be sensible to sort that - an assistant with a hose should enable you to locate it and sort it.

 

It may be worth dropping the fusebox down and checking its not leaking around there somewhere, as this could actually be the source of the problem as it is above the drivers footwell, where your leak seems to be (should only take around 15 minutes)

 

I doubt the pollen filter is relevent though i'm sure i've seen something about it on here before causing leaking (maybe a modified design of the frame or not fitted correctly?), but since its on the wrong side of the car i doubt its that

I have had similar issues with my windows - I went through all the wiring and checked each door switch - as they sit right where water can get into them if you open the door when raining/forget to fully close the window etc I felt it would be worth while. Turned out all the switches were corroded to some degree and all had failed.

Now to get some more new switches!
