Total closure windows......?????

**jimbohotpants** · by **jimbohotpants** » Tue May 24, 2005 12:17 am

Its like this..... My cally is supposed to have total closure of its windows when the key is turned 45degrees and held there for 2 seconds or so.
This doesn't happen on mine.
I have tried resetting the windows' programming.
The driver's side doesn't have a microswitch. The passenger side does. Neither side will give any closure with this method.
I have tried grounding the Brwon/Black wire in the driver's footwell to the chassis.... no joy.
Can anyone help me? Do I need the driver's microswitch for either side to work? Is there a more serious problem?
Any help would be much appreciated!

thats the point mate, you turn it to 45 degrees the doors lock u wait there and the windows go up but you have to hold it there untill they are right up

When I turn it 45 degrees, the locks lock. I hold it there forever, but no window movement, either on the passenger side or driver's.
I held a connecting wire from the terminal of the Brown/black wire behind the fuse tray in the driver's footwell (which went into what looks like a relay, together with a thicker black wire), to the body of the car for about 20 seconds or so. I tried quite a few times in case I wasn't getting a decent contact, but to no avail!
From what I gather, each window motor has its own timing circuit inside, so if I ground the circuit at any stage (like the microswitch would do), then they should just operate. Am I mistaken? Can someone set me straight please?

You'll be pleased to know that I've sorted the problem now! All it needed was the microswitch![img]/smile.gif[/img] I've rigged it to the alarm now too so the windows go up with remote locking![img]/smile.gif[/img] Luvly jubbly!
Cheers for all the help guys!
