electric windows help!

[jamieclifford]

my windows are not going up or down, it wouldn't matter so much if it weren't pissing down atm, HELP!!

[smithsgtt]

its either yourswitch or your motor thats prob packed in . have you checked the fuse

[jamieclifford]

got a few spare switches tried the all even tried the one off the passenger side that works and nothing, did do it when i bought the car a few weeks ago, but worked when i got home so i just forgot about it. funny how these things catch u at the worst times :lol:

It's strange that they have both stopped working, have you tryed the fuses?

[ross_jsy]

try tapping the motor with back of a screw driver or a small hammer

[jamieclifford]

found it now, was only the drivers side but seems like the wire has corroded at some point and some animal has gaffer taped a bit of wire between to get some extra length! :?

nevermind doesn't look like much rain today so i'm gunna have a go at sorting it out proper

[Ash-Lee]

I know the feeling, it was only yesterday i had a good go over my radiator fan wiring, used proper car wiring and crimps to remove all previous 'twist and tape' bodge jobs.

There are some animals out there!!!  Twist wires together and call that a job well done!!!  Not even insulated, wrong rated wire for the job and not even bothering with relays to switch high currents ie fan witches.
