Electric windows buttons - driver's door central control pad
The driver's door central electric windows button pad on my 1999 v8 sovereign just started to warm up and get quite hot during a long drive.
all the windows still responded to the controls however.
No warning lights have come on.
would anyone know what (electrical?) fault may be happening?

Electric window switches thanks
Thanks for this HighhorseI will have a look.The truth is i had the whole door panel including arm rest off recently, (and un-necessarily) while replacing the door mirror assembly which had been broken off by a drive by vandal.I didnt think i had messed with the wiring and its been a month since then anyway.

Understood, too bad about the vandal (soulless scum).....but for your part, you may had inadvertently pinched a wire and after a bit of rubbing, it wore through? It may not had been anything on your part either other than moving a 19yr old part that's dry rotted, it cracks and creates a bridge between what was two separate insulated pieces. Definitely doesn't hurt to check.

I wish people would read the TSBs that are posted here on this site and on Gus's site.
TSB 501-46
Common complaint up to VIN F11700.
I'll post it so nobody complains that they cannot find it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess that is my lot-in-life.
I never really have to type in answers to questions because Jaguar already knew about the fault and sent out TSBs to the Dealer Techs!!!!!!
All I have to do is remember that there was a TSB issued and find it in my TSB info folders. Someday my memory will fade and I will just read posts!!!! (or make up answers to sound smart??)

Incidentally i now realise that when i got in the car mid-journey the other day, my seat had moved to a forward position that was certainly not something I had set (i have never knowingly used the seat position presets) so I imagine there is more to come....
