Power Windows that won't power..

[Sniffer]

Still loving my VRX, BUT I have a problem...All to do with power windows. My drivers window works fine, front passenger half down and will not raise or lower, plus both rear windows will not lower or raise. I checked the fusible link behind the glove box, all ok, it has to be, as I said the drivers window works fine, it's just the rest that refuse to operate....HELP!

If they aren't plugged in from the inside of the door panel they won't function.

You haven't taken the door panels off and forgotten to plug them in or the dealers havent done so have they?

Could be an issue especially if you've had someone install speakers in your car recently they may of forgotten to plug the passenger/rear doors in.. The drivers side door has two that need to be plugged in for the mirrors and a larger one for all 4 doors so that could explain why they did the drivers but may of left out the others by mistake.


That's all I can think of

Could actually be a fault with the ECU, if i remember correctly (adrian will correct me if im wrong) the power windows also run through the ECU. So maybe it might be a thing to take to the dealer for them to check out...

Thanks for your collective thoughts, all I did was lower the passenger front window half way to talk to someone and that's it, no more control from either door controller, yet the drivers still works fine... I guess it's off to the dealer tomorrow.

They're not locked are they? I'd be checking the lock button on the drivers armrest. If the drivers works but the other three don't, I'd be suspecting this pretty strongly.

Oh! the embarrassment... you are spot on Tim, I must have inadvertently hit the lock button somehow,I now have to wear the shame and ridicule of my peers for being hamfisted..

That is sooo funny, but dont worry, im sure we have all done before, i know i have. but i just pressed all the buttons and found out that i had hit the lock button.

You'd think the drivers window controls would override the lock

I'm pretty sure they did on my Magna

[bd-850]

you would, but thats what you get for thinking

LOL don't worry, happened once to me too.

LOL that is funny. It is funny how we panic when some thing does not work on our cars.

My first thoughts when I read your original post was the lock button. Glad to see it was some thing simple.

Alls well that ends well.

Bahahaha ... unlucky dude, but hey, at least you didn't take it in to the dealer. Pretty sure we've all had a momentary panic about that one though. It is strange that the drivers controls don't override the lock.

Thanks to everone that contributed to my terror power window meltdown. I can handle getting flogged by CJ members but the embarrassment of taking it to a dealer and have some spotty apprentice point out my stupidity, too much to bear
