Electric window problem ....

[puggy]

Ok steve that is the meter i have , i,ve got the black lead in the bottom socket com
and the red in the socket in the middle , which ohms measurment should i switch it to .
By the way it doesn't beep when i switch it to diode and touch probes . The rest i think i
understand , do i take it the numbers correspond to the numbers on the wires .

[puggy]

Thanks for that Jasper it gives me more insight into what i am dealing with , and
thanks steve its about time i learned how to use a meter .
Also guys been out in the car and the wipers are not stopping and parking in the correct
position front and rear , related ??

The lowest, hard to see from here, is that 20?

That's a shame, my Fluke and the meter at the garage do so I thought it was standard.

Yep, if your eyes are as bad as mine don't forget your specs

There appear to be some confusing technical terms in this thread, so permit me to express these in laymans terms:

Last week was driving along with front passenger window part way down (kerb crawling), when i tried
to close it it didn't move so thought i would need to look at it when i got home (scarperred before I got rumbled).

Well you say that but I'm still waiting for a bowl of steaming custard to prove his rather caddish claims of anything like approaching the 180 PBHP he purports (I still haven't come to terms with discovering you can get masses of oomph and 40+ mpg so long as you don't invest in a Bouremouth Express, like I did)

HTH

You may mock Doggy, Sir, but I shall have the pick of the best deck-chairs along the sea front what with me getting there quite early an all that

[puggy]

Doggy you bugger !! I was not kerb crawling as it was in the day time , i was
actually returning from HMP Stocken

[Doggy]

Ah, so you only kerb crawl at night.

Good to hear you're out & about again - are you out on licence, or did the Womens Institute drop the charges?

Have to agree you're odds-on to beat us to it Welton, old chap. (Most of us are planning to wait for retirement age).

Where is the relay for the wipers and can a duff one stop them parking in the right place ??????

[Doggy]

I think it's more likely to be the limit switch insde the wiper motor that determines where it parks.

Cheers for the sig, puggy.

Edit: Gah The relay is inside your BSI...

Failure to park always used to be an earth or switching problem.

[puggy]

Right steve and doggy , i've got the drivers side window not working and now the wipers ,
front and back not parking correctly , until this happened i used to hear the relay clicking
when the wipers operated now nothing , could these problems be related ??

[Welly]

I wonder if you've got a damp patch under your carpet (oo-er) seriously - those multi-plugs under the drivers carpet, worth a looky.

[steve_earwig]

i've got the drivers side window not working

This is in addition to the passenger side?

I suspect the wet carpet syndrome only affects fully mux cars...
