New window relay didn't help


Recommended Posts

1998 boxster

I have got the new relay for the windows, but that didn't fix anything and unfortunately the driver’s window stopped working completely. Not even dropping when opening the door (inside and outside). But the door light at the bottom of the door is working.

And the passenger window is still going all the way down when opening the roof.

What now?

OPC in Hatfield (UK B) ) available from Wednesday - but no courtesy car, that would be end of July (Kate is using the car everyday )

Would you know somebody who would know the electrics in North London (Finchley), not just a MOT garage.

What I'm still thinking is to have a look at the door connector, again.

A DIY repair on this requires at least a basic knowledge in electrical theory and lot of patience when taking apart the door, other wise you are best off getting it fixed professionally.

Sorry CJ, I don't believe in taking to a shop a asking them to tell you what is wrong so you can go away and fix it.... because if you can't figure out what is wrong by yorelf, you probably can't fix it yourself either. Not fair to the shop either!

Velryba, the problem is likely with one of the components in the door, you have to trace the circuits that control and drive the window motor and test/eliminate each one either by knowing what they do, or each component one-at-a time.

In general (and not aimed at you specifically), unless you have the knowledge and the tools, not everything is a DIY job. Sorry.
