Trying to get all the windows working in this thing, getting baffled by the crazy number of wires. The drivers window switch works on all doors, the passenger front window switch doesnt work. I have just replaced the switch, still nothing, driver door switch still rolls the window up and down. I dont really understand the wiring here, 5 coming off the passenger side window switch. Does the signal come from the drivers side switch, through the passenger side switch, then to window motor? I also notice some repair work has been done to the door jam wiring going through the boot, I know this is a common failure point. I cant visually see any kinked, bare or broken wires.
The passenger side rear window rolls down from the drivers switch, but not from its own switch, I have the replacement switch ill try for that. When i roll it up, it gets crooked in the track, and i have to help it up.
The drivers side rear wont go up or down, although it might be stuck up, i can hear the motor when i use the drivers switch, but not when i use its own switch. A few months ago, this window rolled itself down when i turned on the key. I was able to stop it with the window lock button. After a few minutes, i was able to help it back up and have the left the window locked since.
All these clues add up to something, but I don't know what, I'm hoping you all can help me figure out where to start. Going to take off the rear door panels and and replace those switches right now, will update shortly, thanks.
Replaced all switches, still same issues. There are only two wires going to the window motor on the passenger side, coming from the passenger door switch. So that means the signal from the drivers side has to go through the passenger side switch to actuate the window motor. And somehow the passenger side switch doesn't work at all.
Anyone know how the "window lock" button works? Does it ground or apply power to something? Maybe the passenger side thinks the window is locked from the drivers side?
After some research, i have found that each window receives a 12v signal when the lock is off, no signal when its on. The window lock wire is red/light blue, except to the passenger side switch. There is a plug under the passenger side kick panel where the red/light blue wire switches to blue/black. I have no signal at the switch or the plug. One end of the plug goes to the door, one end goes far up into the dash. I checked the rear window switch, its has a red/ light blue wire that has a signal when the lock is off, and it functions properly.
I have no need for the window lock, can i just jump a wire over to to get this window working again? Maybe just pull power from the cigarette lighter?
Maybe just run a whole new line direct to that door from the drivers switch?
