as title. My handbook says fuse 24? but when i take off fuse box lid there isnt a number 24? the handbook says it should be a 30A fuse?

i found 1 blown fuse but its 40A. If you stand sideways to car at drivers side and there are 2 rows of fuses its the one at the bottom of the left row. what does that do? theres nothing shown on my lid. i think its the wrong lid? should cossie one be see through?

please help because windows were fine yesterday


chop

 

come on people please go out to your cars and check

or is it raining?

 

Change the one that's blown and see if the windows work

 

It maybe that the motor has got stuck (they sometimes do this). What happens is that it gets jammed ON (either up or down) and then this overheats the motor and trips it out. It will then keep tripping out, colling down, tripping out whenever the car is turned on and will give the impression that the window is broken. You can tell if it is this by listening to the door and if you can hear the motor humming (no particular tune ) when you first turn the ignition on, it is stuck. Is a right pain if it sticks down .

 

cheers mike that was a good effort i might PM my figures

if its stuck how do i unstuck it?



antony
i dont have a spare 40A fuse

 

Chop,
Swap the wires round that send the power to the motor, it will then wind down (but may get stuck down then ).

Clean it as best you can. It may need throwing .

I thought you said it "should" be 30A anyway .

 

aye mike i dont even know that the blown 40A one is the windows or what the hell it is

 

Single 30A on the far right hand side of the fusebox.

Sits on it's own, and I left some spare fuses in the fusebox.

Mine used to do this once in a while as well. Sometimes can be traced to a bad earth on the actual switchgear - centre console, in front of the gear lever is an earth point.

 

oh yes! 10 gold stars to the boy PON!

was the single fuse by itself and it was blown. swapped and fixed now. woohoo

 

well.. nooooo shit scottish sherlock



replacing the blown fuse fixed the problem!

i would never have guessed!

 

aye but i didnt even know which fuse was the leccy windows you nobber

 

try the blown one you GOON

 

sorry i wasnt mincing about in the rain lifting all the fuses while my son was crying inside to be fed

im babysitting and its going to be a long day
