Electric Windows

[captainwow15]

Picked up my roc yesterday, drove it down the motorway home was all fine and dandy, everything worked fine but now the electric windows don't work.
I looked in the manual and tried searching for the fusebox for the fuse and it says it should be in a seperate little bit above with the rear foglight fuse and i can find the rear foglight fuse but no fuse for the widows.
When looking in the manual i noticed they were mounted on the drivers door whereas mine or located on the bottom of the centre console below my radio, is this right for a H reg GTII? It says it should have a automatic fuse which resets? so you dont get half open windows with no power but it hasn't restarted. they worked fine up until about 5 today, any ideas?

cheers

Sounds like they are aftermarket and added on?

Sorry i can't be of any more help but i'm sure someone else will know more.

what do your window switches look like and where are they?

[captainwow15]

They look exactly like the ones in the manual, will take photos later, they are mounted underneath my radio head unit. is this a place where they might be found normally or are they aftermarket?

The window switches on factory fitted electic windows are in the door cards, 2 in the drivers door card and 1 in the passenger side.
There is a nothing to hold anything below the radio, on standard centre consols anyway. It sounds as if someone has fitted after market electric windows but used proper VW switches.

Get a picture up and it will give us all a better idea and hopefully steer you in the right direction,

Hey, cheers for the help guys, what i didnt notice at the time was that my handbrake indicator light had also stopped working so had another look in the manual and found which fuse it was, the same fuse also controlled the horn so tried that and it didnt work, pulled the fuse out and sure enough it had gone, popped a new one in and everything working including the windows. seems like when they were put in aftermarket they were put through the wrong fuse which is only 15 but the windows are supposed to be 30, ill fit a new 30amp fuse when i have time but for the moment ill just keep loads of spare 15's. cheers!

ideally they should be on their own fuse. if you can trace where they are connected to the fuse box, it'd be quite easy to reconnect them via an add on fuse holder on to top the main fusebox
