Hi all,

Need your help on this one,
I cannot figure out why my windows stopped working.
tot start, The windows didn't work when I got the car, and thanks to this wonderful forum I cleaned the switches and both windows worked again.

And now since i have been doing some other stuff like replacing all the fuses, main load relay, water pump and cooling hoses, I did not pay attention to the windows any more and suddenly they died on me.

I checked the circuit breaker on the left side fuse panel (brown/blue and brown wire) and it has 12 volts continue (coming from the brown wire trough the circuit breaker to the brown/blue wire) but I do not have any power on the switsches (also brown/blue wire).
Since both windows died I assume it is unlikely that both window motors have died at the same time, searching the forum and internet, it looks like there has to be a window lift relay, but I cannot find it.

Cigar lighter is working

Any thoughts on this one?

The car is a 1982 HE V12 XJS

 

Have found the relay, for now I just connected the 2 brown/blue wire together using a 35A fuse (maybe a bit to much because there is also the circuit breaker)
But it works, even though the ignition switch is not on.

Do you guys have any ideas for a replacement relay? I found it hard to find one here in the Netherlands.
Hella part numbers or other marks that suits ok as well, Bosch e.g.?

Any input is much appreciated.

 

Take the old relay to a parts shop, any relay that can carry 30 amps and has the same pin configuration will be fine
