Typo. Should say could it be a good sensor affecting the windows when the hood is down.

Hello, A quick follow up to the window switch issue. Having, I thought fixed the problem (plastic coating on two wires was split so covered with insulating tape and windows worked) I went for a drive with the roof down. Windows then only worked intermittently and then not at all. So I took all the wires out again today and cut the damaged wires and did a 'proper' fix with butt connectors (I don't have e a soldering iron). Windows worked again. Just opened the rood again to go on a test drive and the windows don't work when the roof is down. Really confused now. Could it be a good sensor. Grateful for any suggestions. Thanks, Reg

Thanks Gareth, I had the connector under the driver's see replaced just last year. That's why I thought I might have caused it disconnecting and reconnecting the door motor. Will try the spray as you suggest. Will also ask the local garage to run a fault diagnostic.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. As a postscript to solving my window problem I have now got an air bag warning light and intermittent hood warning light. I assume I might have caused this when I was removing and refitting the window motor. Do I need to do some sort of reset? Thanks

Yes it was, but I could only see the damaged wires once I pulled all the wires back through the door.

Thanks!

Thanks Gareth, You're spot on. The replacement window motor didn't solve the problem. However I decided to have a closer look and the wiring loom and found two wires with splits in the plastic coating. I repaired these with insulating tape and it's fixed!

Hello, I'm new to the forum and seeking suggestions on how to identify a problem with my electric windows. Issue is that the windows move when I lower and raise the hood, but the multi switch on the driver's side does not work. I ordered a replacement switch from eBay and this also didn't work. I've investigated the wiring in the door hinge but there are no obvious breakages. I've heard that it could be a faulty window motor and have ordered a used replacement from eBay. It arrives tomorrow. If this doesn't solve the problem I'm not sure what to do next. Does anyone have any suggestions? Many thanks
