Morning chaps.
We were putting the windows up yesterday both at the same time when the passenger window stalled an inch from closed. Now neither window works. Also the o/s/speaker has gone off ??? Coincedence perhaps?? There appears to be no blown fuse in the fusebox in pass footwell and it would appear there is live in and out of the switches.... Help!!!!!
Forgot to say it is a 400 2000 v reg Chimaera.

By your description of how it failed, I would still suggest a fuse. But there are other things worth looking at. Take the speakers out to access the window motor wiring. There's a short cable between the motor and the loom. The connectors at either end of this cable are prone to the harsh (damp) atmosphere within the door and may need cleaning. Plus the motor end of this wire has a poor connector in the first place. Here's a picture in which you can see the motor end of the [blue & black] wire:

Cheers Andy. We will double check fuses but there is a feed both ways through the switches. Wondering if it could be an earth issue ?? Taking trims off so we will check those conections.
