this is a strange one ive looked through the forum cant find the same problem anywhere.

basically my electric windows dont work on both sides my eletric mirrors work though and central locking everything else works fine.

No fuses have blown ive taken the pannels off & door cards all ok is there a relay or a specific fuse for the windows?

stumped, any ideas

I would start by getting a volt meter and making sure you have power from the switch to the motors when you push the switch. If not, trace back up the line until you find where you DO have power and start troubleshooting from there.
If you have power to the motors then I would see if they are drawing any amps when activated, using your multi-tester again.

 

Can you roll down the window on the passenger side using the passenger window switch? If so, then your driver side which switch has failed - a common problem.

ill have a go with the multimeter tonight, ran outa light yesterday.

not the switch as i cant roll down the window on the passenger side using the passenger window switch either some eletric fault/brake somewhere i think

 

You are 100% sure you checked the "room" and "cigar" fuse in the fuse box that is right above the foot rest on the driver side?

 

ive got them ato smart fuses that light up if they blow but i tested them anyway there all ok. Do you know what fuses are for what in the foot rest because mine are in jap

 

i am totally stuck on this ive looked through the circuit diagram still can figure out what it is.

 

So where do you have power to? We have to know this to go any further....

 

This happen to me and i just tested the regulator first to make sure my motors where not out.I used a car bat and hot wire the regulators straight up. Then i tried my passenger switch no go. So i bought another driver master switch and everthing was a ok. The explanation i got was the master switch for mines contains a circuit for the passenger as well like a loop. Also your contact in you master switch can be dirty and need cleaning. I bought mines from Ray Crow for about 150.00 if i remember right.

 

Electric mirrors work on both side.
Central locking will also lock the doors.

Master window switch, will not work on driver and passinger windows
and passinger side window switch will not work either.

Ive got door cards off switches are clean. god damm windows has ruined my weekend

 

I will try this tonite, as i thought the two switches were seperate didnt know it looped through the main to allow both to function makes sense that both would not work

Also the fuse box cover in the footwell mines all in Jap, and really hard to tell which fuse is to what. does anyone have a English/US diagram?

 

Maybe this will help. Dont forget you can lock windows from that switch also.

 

Thanks for the pic, "lock windows" you can disable the passinger side window?

ive just got confused even more my fuse box cover is nothing like that, the blank is were the 30amp power windows should be. Mines a 97FD did they change it later on? or has the previous owner out the wrong cover on?

Dammm it just keeps gettin worse lol

 

this is my fuse cover

 

Tested the window motors last nite and they all work, try to upload pics last nite but site wasnt working. So its either the harness or the switch is there a way to test the switch?

 

No not really. I am 100% sure it your switch. if you mess with any of your wiring around door area then i think not.

 

Hi mate still havnt sorted it yet been on holiday, but ive narrowed it down to either the window switch, or where it connects into the door because ive been messing with both. 100% sure its the switch to just been havin trouble getting hold of one.

first thing test fuses
if ok test motor ( its really easy take door pannel off)
see attached pictures

 

found some more things im unsure on and cant seem to find in the eletrical diagram

A plug going knowhere from underneath the driverseat

and a disconnected plug in the drivers door see pictures

 

plug under seat is only for your seat belt light.
plug on door is also nothing it is the same on mines.

 

Nooooooooooo dam it wasnt the switch, guess its in the harness behind the dash or could it be the window regulator any ideas anyone. i think ive try'd every thing else

 

there is a switch on the driver side near the windows up/down levers --- it toggles on and off. Toggled off?

 

i had this problem with my passenger door switch (left side). i popped the switch out and i took it apart. there was carbon build up in there so i just took a flat head and scratched it off. put it back together and plugged it back in. good as new. hope this works

 

our windows have a window lock feature, it's a little switch underneath the window switches, toggle it to the opposite that it currently is before doing much more, you may have just put it in "lock" and not noticed, I know I've done it before and pissed me off until I realized it.

The only reason I say this is you haven't mentioned it before, and sometimes, it's the simplest of things.

 

if only it was that easy, ive taken apart both switches and replaced them with new ones

oh and it is toggled on too. im going to have another look at it to night, think im going to end up taking my dash out again and tap into the loom before i goes through the door to see if theres a break.

either way when i find out what it is its going to be an epic write up

 

bump - did you ever figure it out? My passenger window stopped working last night, halfway up. Driver window still works but neither switch will move the passenger window, tried the window lock switch in both positions too...
