Hello, im having problems with my zeds windows

 

they just both packed in a few weeks ago, i installed a new amp in the drivers side, no difference.

 

so ive installed new drivers side motor and regualator, and got another window amp, installed it all and hey presto they both worked,

 

next morning get into the car and the windows dont work again!

 

the amp makes a fast clicking sound when switches are pressed.

 

the only part i havent changed is the passengars motor and reg, all wiring looks good into the car, if i power the motors up on a battery they work fine.

 

could the drivers side switches cause this fault?, its the only thing left!!

 

any help will be great!.

you might have a break in one of the wires, as you open and close your drivers door and is making an intermittent contact, fiddle with the rubber hose from the piller to the door while trying the window switch.

yeah i had a go at that today on the drivers side, will have another look tomorrow thanks

Unless you buy a new window amp you're going to run into similar issues as they are all fairly old. Get one of your old ones resoldered properly (i.e. remove all the old solder and resolder with fresh)

ive soldered all the ones i have up, ive got three amps in total, all came from working cars, they work for a day then stop!, a wiring fault is most likely now im thinking or maybe the switch panel?

Have you removed most of the old solder first ?

 

yeah i have a electric desolding tool,

 

i tested all wiring again today, powered the wires up from a battery to the window amp connector (amp disconnected) and the window rolls up and down fine, i think this removes wiring faults in the door,

 

im still thinking maybe the switch could be dodgy!,

 

but if i power the wires from the switch connector up with 12v the amp clicks, but the 2 pin plug that connects to the window motor the voltage only goes to about 0.9v when voltage is applied....so im guessing the amp isnt switching the 12v to the motor.

 

ive ordered another amp!, im gonna plug it in, but disconnect the drivers window motor and test the wires again!.

 

im thinking the amp maybe just a twin relay system, im not bothered about the passengers window working, maybe i could wire in a standard 30amp 4 or 5 pin relay instead of the amp may work and be cheaper!.
