Re: Passenger side windows travel in different directions

The job is finally jobbed. :beer: I cut and reversed the supply to the connector, and the car from Delmonte, he say Yes. So it has to be the motor which has reversed polarity for god-only-knows what reason as the supply never reversed. Tested the roof and everything's absolutely fine. If it ever dec...

Re: Passenger side windows travel in different directions

I could easily cut & reverse the supply wires?

Re: Passenger side windows travel in different directions

Hi Ian, I didn't reverse the connections on re-connection. The connector prevents this but I omitted to mention that I did try to connect it the other way round this morning but I couldn't get the contacts to connect.

Re: Passenger side windows travel in different directions

I went through everything with PP2000 this morning after eliminating any residual charge. The roof ECU only showed non-connection faults which I cleared and replicated by trying to run the window motor whilst disconnected. I ran a diagnosis which correctly detected the switch positions despite the w...

Re: Passenger side windows travel in different directions

Just had a thought - if the regulator from the other side is a mirror image, wouldn't the motor have to run in the opposite direction? If that's true, I'm inclined to think that the controller (the Roof ECU) is outputting the wrong polarity to the motor, so perhaps you should reconsider the suggest...

Yep, that's where I'm heading (or eBay). Such a pain in the armpit. :roll:

Re: Passenger side windows travel in different directions

OK, here's something else to try: Front window open, rear window closed - disconnect front window motor and apply 12V to the terminals to raise the window. If it doesn't work one way, just reverse the connections. Re-connect the motor and see if all is well. So I tried this with a direct feed from ...

Passenger side windows travel in different directions

This is a weird one. I unplugged and removed the winder motor on the left side door to replace the door strap. I just carefully pulled the motor spindle free from the nylon pulley assembly with the cables wrapped round it & left it where it was, and after the strap was replaced, refitted & r...

Re: ESP/ASR light showing dimly?

Same as my info. :-) As a matter of interest, do you now pay for your Service box access?

Re: ESP/ASR light showing dimly?

According to my MoT tester buddy who'll be doing it, it would be a failing item "if I can easily see it" which he probably won't as the MoT bay is quite well lit, plus he's quite pragmatic. The car definitely don't have ESP/ASR as I always copied & pasted the Service box vehicle detail...

Re: ESP/ASR light showing dimly?

Thanks Ian. I carefully reset it four times but the light is still visible (only just) in the daylight. It definitely activates and deactivates with sleep mode. 🤔

ESP/ASR light showing dimly?

Bit of a weird one. The ESP/ASR light comes on at half-strength when the electrics wake up e.g. on unlocking the car with the fob, or after sitting in the car waiting for 3 minutes for power to go off and then turning the key to auxiliary power. The light is pretty clearly visible in the dark but no...
