M44K TS Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 my mate has a p reg td runabout, his window switches are tempremental Also, if he opens the car via the drivers door, the boot release doesn't work but switches the headlights on for 3 secs instead, but it's fine from the passenger side??? I think he tried another set of switches and th windows were ok for a bit but started playing up again. Might be worth trying new switches, cheapest option first i would have thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawdreamer Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I just had a sod of a time with the boot release on my set thought it was the switch to cos I tried the solonoid off the boot and it worked fine funny thing is when pressed from inside the car the boot release would turn the heated front screen on, and the windows were a right pain to get down after several hours of haynes consultation and a few suggestion of helpful members I got to the "so gonna go get my hammer" point.... then my gf(of all people) spotted the rear wiper and foglight wernt working too, I popped the boot with the rear fog turned on and as it went up "blink" on it came, thats right crimped wires in the boot tube that went from the lid to chasis near the hinges. Now I dunno how this was effecting things other than the bootlid electrics like it was with windscreen heeter but once I sorted a new wire loom from bootlid to the chasis it all stopped..... windows even started workin fine... auto electrician said the likelyhood was that the relay panel and its controller was getting random unrecognizable signals from the crimped wires and was just tryin to cope either way mines workin spot on now, hopefully yours is just down to the switch like cos thats a piece of pee fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
