electric windows

I have a late model ('92) gtII which has dodgy electric windows - the drivers side did work, until I tried to re-connect the 'passenger' side back up (car came this way a year ago) and now 'both' don't work... don't really want to have to knock it into big VW dealership for extortionate bill - any body with similar problems and tips?
:scratch:

Mm, could be a few things but does sound electrical. However you could try and lubricate the runners.

Could be the switches or the relay. It would be ideal if you could "borrow" a working pair of switches and a relay and swap them to see if they work after that. If not them it may be the motors.

I seem to remember something similar happening to me a while ago. On mine it was down to a faulty switch, one broken switch stopped them both from working....

Maybe the p/s one was disconnected for a reason?

check your fuse as it may have blown it?

where abouts are you you can try my switches if your local to Preston (ish)

Very likely to be the switches at fault.
