Electric window gremlins
Iain C:
Nice one, I'll give that a go!

If the other ideas don't work then, to test ECU there should be 12v on both white/pinks on the back of the rear window console switch. If the 12v is there when at rest but drops very low on BOTH wires when you press the up button (up draws much more current than down) then definitely suspect bad joint in the ECU. If not then read on
If neither of the rear windows will go up, using either of the two switches for that window, but will go down with either of the two switches, then the only common point I see is the splice in the white pink wires feeding the console switches. With ignition on (pos 2) there should be 12v on both white/pinks pins 3 & 5 & GND (0v, -ve, earth whatever) on the black on pin 4.
Try shorting the two white/pinks together & try. If that works, look for the white/pink splice which, going by its number, should be in the console somewhere as the fault would seem to lie there.
If the GND is missing - well I don't think it will be cos otherwise the windows wouldn't go down.
If the short didn't work, press the up button and there should be 12v on the slate (grey) and GND on the slate/brown. If not then suspect switch
If yes then inside one rear door, with all switches at rest, (ignoring the red/brown lighting feed) there should be 12v on everything except GND on the black. With that door's switch in the up & console switch at rest, there should be 12v on slate, slate/brown & slate/orange and GND on slate/white.
If, that is I'm reading the diagrams properly :lol:

Anyone know if it's in the same place on a RRC soft dash?

i would have thought it is, just pop the glove box out a check if the black is there!

Did you manage to fix it?
