theboffin 0 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi can anyone help?My highline has a Scorpion total closure alarm fitted, which until a few days ago use to close all the windows and sunroof when locking the car with one press as it should. Now the windows still close but the sunroof remains open!?...any ideas?..just a glitch/failure in the control unit?..last time i check the wiring it was fine?Help!...a bit frustrating!cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Could it be an intermitently working rear window motor causing the problem?, and should i just change it anyway?all help greatly appreciated before i strip the rear door down!

Gazbarber1982 3 Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Sounds like a silly thing but check the earth cable. As far as I know all the earth cable is brown. My drivers window acted like the motor went so I changed the motor and regulator. Auto electrician, 5 mins and £20 turned out to be just 1 strand of copper connected in the earth cable. Located in the rubber boot between the car chassis and the door. Link to post Share on other sites
