Re: Electric window motor replacement

Thanks, got it out, the motor is good, bit it seems to be permanently being driven by the auto switch on the driver side so electrical unpickling required!

Might just order a new driver side switch

Thanks again.

Will

Electric window motor replacement

Hi all searched for this but failed to see an answer

Passenger side window has packed up
Not the switch or the driver side deactivation switch
There is power at the switch and motor
Small click / clunk at motor when operating switch and it gets hot.

So I guess the motor has ceased?

Can you just ...

Re: AFT Roof wont raise or close.

Update, I'm a total idiot, when I was testing the motors I must have reversed wires on one when putting it back in the connector :shock:

OMG, that's a massive life lesson!

Will now rebuild all the bits I have unnecessarily taken apart... and hope it all works!

Re: AFT Roof wont raise or close.

I'm sure you're bored of me by now...

However if I only connect one motor the mechanism (both sides) drive and moves
Roof is open, so it's not working to lift / lower as I've disconnected the mechanism rom the rails.

Beeping stops when fully open , roof lock operates as expected n'all.

So I guess ...

Re: AFT Roof wont raise or close.

Was not no thank you, I'm not going to pretend to fully understand this but the behaviour I see;

With the motors out the mechanism moves freely, I noticed only one side of the "gear bars" ( teleflex?) where the motor cog connects moves when I move the mechanism by hand , this the same both sides ...

Re: AFT Roof wont raise or close.

Thanks for clarifying and the detailed reply.

For completeness

I have done all the normal "basic checks"
Fuse handbrake etc.

One motor wasn't working have replaced, as per video you shared, it was a massive faff!

Controller seems fine providing helpful beeps!

With roof raised (manually after ...

Re: AFT Roof wont raise or close.

Following Idris process I've stripped headliner and have undone the 10mm bolts from inside for the rails.

Roof now lifts manually, is still attached via rear hinges and gas struts.

Idris mentioned you then "reset everything", I'm just wondering what that might mean in terms of physically what I ...

Re: AFT Failure

Figured it out from the wiring diagram someone else shared
Top / bottom for one direction
Diagonal for the other

I think!

Can hear the motor operating a tiny bit in each direction... I'm hoping if I keep cycling it may magically fix itself...

Rain stops play will try again tomoz!

Re: AFT Failure

I know this is old but does anyone have the labeled image a for the four pins on the controller plug as the link goes to a flash enabled site that no longer works!

Thank you!

Re: AFT Wiring diagram

Hi, jumping on this going through similar diagnostics, don't think I am as competent at electronics as you!

Engine running

The control box has 14v going to on the four wire input
It beeps when button pressed

When I press the open switch it's showing about 10v on the output other two wires.

Am I ...

Re: Thinking about selling, repair or not?

Been quoted around £1000 for both rear archers repaired / respray.

We'd stick a new MOT on if we did sell it. It's due in the summer.

Thinking about selling, repair or not?

We have a much loved 2000, 2lt. Petrol Bongo with full side conversion and rock and roll bed, looking for advice please.

We're thinking of selling as sadly the bongo just doesn't meet our needs any more, but wanted to know what the advise / thoughts were on repairs before selling?

The vans in good ...
