How to fix your electric windows.

Featured Replies

If you have tried replacing every part on your electric window system and still no luck?, well i decided to bypass it altogether. 

 

Start by bypassing the motor relay inside the housing (6 clips to undo) cut the legs so they no longer connect the relay. Then run two wires from the power/ground in to the motor connecter below the relay. 

 

The motor power and ground are the thicker end wires on the plug (drivers side) . (Red/white stripe positive) (Brown ground) 

 

Then wire your chosen dpdt window switch pictured below. 

 

Now you will have working windows. You wont have auto up/down or end of travel detection, but you will have windows that go up and down via a switch.

Passenger side to do next. The only thing that i would like to add is some kind of end of travel detection. 

 

But having working windows after not being able to open a window for 3 months is amazing.
