need help ASAP both windows not working

[jimmy.farrow7]

Hello guys,

 

Right ive just made a 20 minute journey to a family members house after arriving I tried to do my drivers side window up and nothing happened, i also tried to put my passenger window down and i got no response. So I have 2 windows which dont respond, is there anyway i can just put my window up as i go offshore tonight and need my car to be secure or has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem could be

Check the fuse or pull up on the window as you press the the button to shut the window. Mine got stuck once and pulling it up worked.

Any idea what/where the fuse is

Try this,

 

Hold the window button up - and punch the door card.

Works for me

I actually spent 30 mins searching the forums, and thus far the majority say there is no fuse!

I find this very strange.

Just try this.

 

Don't think it's a fuse issue as they just stopped like mine. Punching helps!

[jimmy.farrow7]

Yeah its not one window its both, ones up and one is down just need to get it up so it will be secure

[brillomaster]

+1 on the holding button up and punching the door card, just below and in front of the switches.

There are two 10a fuses that relate to the windows, in the fuse box above the BCM, check these,

also check you haven't knocked on the window lock button,

The windows are also linked into the door switches so check the grounds on these as they can effect the operation, The BCM controls the whole system so if there is problem with this, it will cause problems,

or its just the motor needs cleaning which will entail removing the door card, there is a how to somewhere here.

Cheers for the tips, I took it to my local garage and they managed to get the window up and secure. I can take it and get it fixed next time im home. Anyone know how much a window motor is roughly?

There is an excellent guide here if you fancy a DIY repair.

Did you try raising the passenger window with the switch that side? But I would tend to act on Tricky's advice first though as I can't imagine for one moment both motors failed at the same time.

[jimmy.farrow7]

Yeah i tried opening/closing both windows with the switches on their own sides. I said to the garage the odds of both the motors going at exactly the same time is highly unlikely but i dont know what it could be. The garage checked all the fuses and they are all fine, the only thing i can think is maybe the wiring/electrics are tempermental or maybe some water got into the components but that is unlikely as they have not been exposed

Did you try punching the door card? -.-

[jimmy.farrow7]

Yeah mate no luck lol

[M13KYF]

Yeah mate no luck lol

 

did you check the fuses and window lock button. Its not the first time a member has been caught out by the lock button

[jimmy.farrow7]

All the fuses were fine and i checked the lock button a few times just to make sure i was not being a retard

The window motor costs around £320 new

You can try fixing them, there is a really good guide as previously mentioned. Unless you replace the brushes then chances are the repair will only last a short while. Clean out all of the gunk and replace the brushes check your old brushes and chances are they will be down to the stubb. Replace with new ones and they should give you plenty of life. The brushes cost less than a tenner, thus saving you a few quid, the only cost to you will be a couple of hours in your garage removing the door cards and the motors, cleaning them up and fitting new brushes and putting it all back together again.
