grrrr what now

[highlander112001]

at a total loss now
got 2 new door switches for the leccy windows
now they all work but only when the doors are open window switches light up when doors are open aswell but when doors closed nothing works swapped wires and safety switch about but no difference

leccy mirrors dont work at all neither does my dash lights

heater resistor was burnt to a crisp so got another 1 of them and another blower motor so fingers crossed that will sort that problem

window wipers only work on full speed but got second hand motor, arms n stalk so gonna swap the lot and finger crossed that will sort that out
but at a loss with the window problem hate electrical stuff so any help would be appreciated please

The electric windows are powered by two fuses; one for door open, one for ignition on. They switch power via a relay that's triggered via the door pin switch. The switch is obviously working, but maybe the relay or the fuse for the interior circuit isn't.

For the mirrors, you may have disturbed the socket for the controls, or you might have corrosion of the power pins in the door loom plug (C405).

More info can be found in the Wiki by looking at the Electrical article:

and comparing it with the Wiring Diagrams:

hi grrrmachine

thanks for the links

gonna fit the fan and resistor in a wee while and see if that works if not the next thing to check as i can work out is the green/black wire going to the starter

[Brianmoooore]

Check fuse 17 (30A), and if that's OK, pull out relay K5, identify pins 30 and 87 (marked on the case), and use a short piece of wire to link together these two pins of the relay's socket. If that brings the windows to life, do the same thing with K7, and see if that sorts the door mirrors (and the heater fan?)
If linking out these two relays sorts the problems, turn your attention to the black/green wire going to the starter motor.

***king car

went to fit the blower motor and its totaly different to mine
i take it theres a difference in motor size between an normal and one like mine that has a/c mines is alot fatter and stumpier than the one i just bought

[highlander112001]

hi brian
on relay k7 what are the two numbers i should be jumping are they the same as k5

[highlander112001]

my blower motor spins freely by hand without any sticking
do you have any idea what would cause my resistor to mega burn out as in frazzle it

[Brianmoooore]

Yes, 30 and 87. Relays are identical.
Air con blower motor is different, as you've found out! Pre facelift heaters used a very similar motor. (May be identical).

cool thanks
theres a pre face lift in my local scrappies so will go check that out
