legvw 0 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Have you check the door wiring, i.e the earths?Does the rear demister switch work? Link to post Share on other sites
Phat VR6 3 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 yep the yellow light comes on on the demister... don't know if its doing its job though as theres not mist to clear lolwhere are the earths in the door?Do they run off a relay?thanks for your help Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 There are earth wires that run through the door loom, and into the car i think (trying to remember!) and if 1 of these is not 'earthing' properly then it will cause props with the windows.The windows themselves don't have an external relay.I only say about the demister because if there is an earth fault it will either try to open a window or cause a buzzing from the problem door loom.Hope that makes sense and helps!!!

Phat VR6 3 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 thanks that does help.. i know im not looking for a relay now. and i don't think its a earth problem as there's not buzzing or any strange behavior...This is confusing me as i when i first installed the electric window i just plugged the door looms into the door and they worked. Without adding any wiring looms into the main chassis of the car.(car didn't have electric windows to start off with)which makes me think that it just robs an live and earth from somewhere else inside door... but then how does the operate the other side from the drivers door?Does the electric windows share the same main vehicle wiring loom as the central locking?perhaps they install a loom that does both central locking and electric windows in cars without electric windows.

legvw 0 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Could it just be the switch/es?Think your right about central locking because most mk3 have c/l?In which case all mk3 have power in both the doors, which gets used for either windows, mirrors, locks and speakers.Which does sound like it could be the switches.

bungy 2 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Alot of production cars are fitted for but not with the wiring and fitments for optional extra's as it is cheaper to do it that way. My last car had wiring and fitments for options that just needed connecting, they were fitted but unplugged. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6_Absy 0 Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Could be switch but try running temp earth, bare earth wire (brown) near motor and earth to somewhere on car not door. Wires break in the rubber gaitor entering the door. Link to post Share on other sites
