help xj8 windows gone weird
anyone come across this.my dad washed car with window slightly open ,all fine until left for few days then windows stoped working of drivers door switch bank but would work of individual door switches apart from drivers door window.passenger window would still work of drives door switch.removed door wich bank on drivers door opened up and found corosion in switch.got hold of replacement used switch bank fittted to door but now drivers window works on rear passenger window button on the switch bank but no other windows will work off that bank of switches.the windows will work of their own door swithes eliminating motor problems.on refitting the original swith the drivers window clicks on the same oposite rear button but does not move.tne consule display is also saying drivers dooris open when it is closed but opening the drivers door changes the display to saypassenger door open.weird eh..... any sugestions very much appreciated thanx
thanx mate will try that how do you reteach the switches/module or will it sort itself out what about the door open thingy on the display.have read a few times that you have to disconect the battery and touch the earth lead to he livedo you need to do this .in other words could you explain the cor rect procedure before i fry the thing thanx for help much appreciated
Try doing what I said, I don't see a problem. You can touch the positive cable to the negative once it's disconnected, my understanding is that this will discharge any capacitors without harm. I never bother, I just pull off a cable.
Worked for me JTO. Thank you sooooo much
