TUSCAN DOOR ECU
Discussion
Hello all,
My Drivers Door window is not moving up or down but door mechanism working perfectly fine. Looked at the door yesterday and the cables looked ok in the Encoder. Opened up the door but seemed ok, did not change over the over side as you know what it is like when you start tampering with unbroken things
What would you suggest is the issue as the passengers side is perfectly fine.
Could it be the ECU? Also, where does the ECU live in a Tuscan Mark 1?
Thanks
I did suggest to Dani yesterday that he could switch the ecu (located under the centre console forward of gearstick) from the working passenger side to the drivers side to prove/disprove that was at fault, but as he stated he was reluctant to tamper with the working side.
Ultimately he'll probably need to have the ecu's out just to check the connections anyway, so easy to swap them over to test at that point.

Check the battery, first sign of a dying battery is what you describe even though it can still start the car ok. Do the symptoms disappear with car running?
if not, this
if not, this

Hi guys, changed over the door control units and the driver side still doesn't work at all. Even used the spares I had which are in great condition. Funny thing was that whilst investigating, my right hand side door control was on the left hand side and yes the left one was on the right.
So I can say it is definitely something else now. Atleast it's a lovely crisp sunny Saturday.

Does sound like a dodgy main battery to me, had a tamora with EXACTLY the same symptoms. Swapped modules and the problem didn't move, tried a new module and it was the same. New main battery and everything was cured!So I can say it is definitely something else now. Atleast it's a lovely crisp sunny Saturday.

I have exactly this problem with my driver's side window at the moment.
I have changed the encoder in the door with no improvement, I have also send off the door ecu for repair (don't know what fault was found or what the repair was), again when refitted no improvement (very disappointed at this point). Checked all fuses to no avail, and tried swapping door ECU's, but drivers side window still won't work with passenger side ECU (interestingly, passenger side window also won't work with driver's side ECU). Ready to admit defeat and waiting for a dry day to take it to someone with more electrical diagnostic skills than mine (not hard!).
Please post if you find a fix for yours first...

Shall I buy the Encoder door glass part, as in TVR ME0424? Cheers
That is the correct part number for the Encoder. Where in Surrey are you based, if not to far away then I could let you try one of my spares.Edited by Macey on Monday 21st November 15:41
