Can anyone help with this problem on the electric windows.
Both windows failed to work which was partially traced to bad switches and I think the originals were wired incorrectly. I connected a new switch for the drivers side and the drivers window now works.
After connecting both passenger door switches it immediately blows Fuse No.1.
Thinking the problem may be the passenger door wiring loom I disconnected the plug under the n/s wing and checked the continuity of the three wires - all OK. The motor itself works fine when I connect 12v directly.
Do the early 3.2 cars have a window relay? If so where is it? There is no relay in the board above the fuse box ( I believe later models have one here). I know there are a couple of relays behind the clock which I can access from the front boot. Is one of these for the windows? If there is a relay my suspicion is that it could be bad and causing the short.
The strange thing is that I connected the new switches up with the door cards off and both windows worked!!
I read somewhere that the early 3.2 cars were wired the same as the SC's and there was no relay??
Suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks
