NO ELECTRIC WINDOWS,FAN NOT WORKING & WARNING MESSAGE.

[grinchy]

WE HAVE A 406 GTX ESTATE (2000 REG) AND NONE OF THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS WILL OPEN OR CLOSE AT ALL,WE CANNOT HEAR ANY SOUND WHEN PRESSING THE BUTTONS.
THE FANS DO NOT WORK EITHER AND WE ALSO HAVE A WARNING MESSAGE APPEAR THATS SAYS 'BATTERY CHARGING FAULT' OR SOMETHING SIMILAR .
WE DONT HAVE A USER MANUAL, SO NOT SURE WHICH FUSE IS TO WHAT BUT WHILE TESTING THE FUSES THAT WERE THERE WE NOTICED WHEN 1 FUSE WAS REMOVED THE WARNING MESSAGE WAS GONE AND THE FAN STARTED TO WORK BUT THEN THE REMOTE CENTRAL LOCKING WOULD NOT WORK

WE DONT REALLY KNOW ABOUT CARS SO ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRICIATED

...WHEN 1 FUSE WAS REMOVED THE WARNING MESSAGE WAS GONE AND THE FAN STARTED TO WORK BUT THEN THE REMOTE CENTRAL LOCKING WOULD NOT WORK

Did the windows start working too?

Perhaps an abnormal load (short circuit) on one circuit is knocking part of the BSI out (?) Can anyone tell us what fuse one on an early D9 actually is? The diagram I have seems to say it's the cigarette lighter

[grinchy]

no the windows dont work whatever we try

[grinchy]

drove last night and the warning signs were gone and also the fans worked again but still no windows working, but now this morning warning signs are back and the fans dont work again !!!

[lozz]

Ah iwonder if this couid be the famous fault of the D9s!

Ignition switch faulty perhaps

[grinchy]

thanks for all the advice we now have the windows working and the fan occasionally works , however when the fan works the battery charge warning goes off WEIRD! just the windscreen wipers to sort now
