Electric window issues

Post by iamgall » Tue Jul 04, 2017 5:22 pm

Hi all,
My windows stopped working sometime ago. I bought a new switch and duct tapped the wires back together (between door) and they worked again. Just recently, the drivers side stopped working (bang in the middle of UK heat wave) but the passenger side still works fine. Any ideas?
Cheers all!
Al :)

Yep, I'd solder your repair, just add a couple of inches extra wire.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

Once the wires start snapping in the door loom, they are all eventually doomed :-( It can save time to open the loom up and replace the entire section that runs thru the door using crimp butt by pulling them out the door and staggering them a bit or replace the door loom itself it is available from the shop.
