Electric Window switches.
Small Catastrophe at the weekend. After tinkering with the tweeters on the stereo, (just swapping a wire to the -3db setting) I went to put the passenger window up and ...nothing...
Window stuck down - checked all fuses and none were blown so I suspected a faulty switch but when taking it apart to have a look it basically disintegrated into it's compenent parts. shortly after getting it back together I realised my mistake - when doing the drivers door I'd accidentally pressed the override button to lock out all the switches. So I piched the switch from one of the rear doors to put the window up and ...nothing... although this time I could hear the motor trying to lower the window further but absolutely nothing when trying to raise it back up.
Eventually my dad came and had the whole mechanism completely in bits, beleiving it to have physically jammed but no - wasn't that either.
So - whats wrong with it? Going to order a new switch from Grade A but is there any difference between the back and front door switches on an MY00?
Help. please.
