help !!

the electric windows dont work in my escort.

theres power at the fuse box

theres power at the switches

both the motors work if i put power straight to them

checked the fuse

changed the relay

with out pulling the hole loom out im baffled.

anybody got any ideas. or a wiring diagram.

 

Check regulator (Window).

what do they look like and where would it be.

would this cause both windows not to work.

 

just had a look up the regulator is the motor.

 

Regulator is what moves window up and down, it is DRIVEN by motor, diden't reliase both windows were not working, is other side of switch when pressed getting power could be faulty switches, if yes then will be wiring from switch to motor a connector perhaps which serves both windows.

gona have a norther look tomorrow.

 

Are you seeing power at the door connectors when you push the switch?

 

ive been out with a volt meter.

there is constant power at the switch black/yellow wire 12.5 volts with ignition on.

the wires that go to the motor blue and green

blue is up, green is down or the other way, cant remember

if i put a volt meter on either blue or green and press switch i only get 0.30 volts.

what does this mean.

 

forgot to add this is at both switches

 

As I say you need to check other side of switch with it closed to see what power you are getting there, if it mirrors your said 0.30V then will be dead switch. Could bridge the connection as a test as well.

turned out to be the switches. mate came round with his orion tryed 1 of his, hey presto worked.

thanks for the advice.

Thought as much, glad it's sorted.

what model of orion did the window switch,s come from. I was also told that a MK3 fiesta switch,s are the same is this correct?

 

ANy Mk5 Escort, Mk3 Orion and late Mk3 Fiesta would have the same switches.

 

BTW, anyone need more help, PM me.

 

Are the Escort switches individual then? Sierra rear window switches are the same as MK3 Fiestas the early ones at least. Escorts and Orions are the same owing to the Orion being a Escort saloon essentially.
