Miserable day, I know let's sort some items on the chimaera.....

So drivers window switch being intermittent, ordered new switch. Plug n play really done it before.

Tested switch all okay, disconected arm rest unplugged both window plus aircon switches. set switch overnight. this morning reconnected and nothing. Everything else electrical working okay, so started to experiment with spare switch.

Well this is the outcome - Windows work but only when switch fitted upside down ie wrong way to both connectors AND only when dipped lights switched on !!!

Now I'm okay with a spanner but no electrician, however, I know its a tvr but disconnecting 3 switches then reconnecting them in essence having done this several times previously over 16 years, this really doesnt make sense.

Has anyone come across this before or make a suggestion for those of you with electrical know how?
