Both electric windows will not go up. Please tell me it isn't a 'body off' repair!

Can you still hear a click if you try to wind them down?

Yes you can hear a click.

Prize the switches out and check with your multimeter? IIRC no relays or clever stuff is involved they are just live to the switches and they connect directly to the motors, but the motors have limit switches (which is the click you hear).

I got a multimeter for Christmas. Result. Just going to give it one last polish then I'll fix the windows. Promise.

Thanks

Limit switch?? Really mine hAs not got such tongue outoshnuss: it does have auto close and auto drop but that's an add on.

Hi sonic,

There are relays fitted to your griffs windows, both on passenger side if car up to the left if the glovebox. The windows were always slow so I fitted a David beer mod kit if relays to get a higher supply ti them. Almost guaranteed the fuse has blown. There's two, one in main board, and second is an inline fuse from battery.

Happened once before when you play with both windows at the same time too much?

Hope this helps.

Cheers Gb, I did lower both windows at the same time. Aren't you a clever chap.
