Help with bench testing power window motor
 

Can anyone please help, I am after a wiring diagram for a power window unit so I can connect it in such a way that I can test a unit on the bench, ie: where does each wire connect, is it earth (ground) or live) do I connect a couple together etc etc. heeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp

joseph1945, PM me your email addy and I will send you a complete wiring diagram for your car. Just tell me the year of your X-Type and I will send you the info you need. If it is a 2004, I also need to know the built month/year (written in the driver's door jam) unless you happen to know if you have the older or newer wiring setup.

Looking at the diagram for a 2002, here is a short break down of the wiring. Pins 2 and 7 require 12 VDC to be applied to them. Pin 8 is your ground. Pins 4 and 3 control the motor direction (4 is down, 3 is up). Pins 3 and 4 require a ground to be applied to them to make the motor move. Pin 1 is not used and Pin 6 is for the global close function (should need to ground this pin to make the motor go in the close direction, but the drawing is not clear on this).

Fantastic, thanks to Chis (Thermo) he supplied me with the correct info to sort my problem, EXCELLENT. Thank you, Joe

Just to add to my greatful thanks, I have just been out into my workshop (garage) and set up a rig using the info Chris (Thermo) sent to me and everything worked like a charm, Thanks again Chris, Joe

joseph, not a problem. Having the correct information is most of the battle. That makes things a lot easier to deal with. do not be afraid to post what you find as someone else may find the information useful.
