Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / February 2004Ford ZL Fairlane P/windows
Hi Guys. Can anyone tell me where the Power Window relay is located for a 1985 ZL Ford Fairlane (efi model) The windows have stopped working, yet if I hotwire the motors direct they all work fine. I have replaced the driver side switching unit but still no success. The windows do not work on their individual door switched either. I have traced the + relay wire feed to the switch unit (Grey/yellow wire) and it has no power at all. I can only assume that the next step is to replace the relay, but I have no idea where it is located and my workshop manual does not tell me either. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

All the switches work fine, when I hot wire the power wire which runs between the relay and the drivers side master control. When I put full 12v power to this wire everything works. All switches work and all the windows go up and down. There is just no power getting to the master switch from the relay. This is why I believe it is the relay that has gone. I even checked the fusible link and it appears OK. Garry well, since you've found that there no power coming from the relay, its time to check the relay. Give 12v to the coil and check that the resistance between the Normally Open contacts is 0ohms Then just check that there is 12V getting to the coil, if there isn't, then the problem is further back still, possibly rooted ignition barrel contacts etc.. > > Have you checked the solder joints on the switch ? > > renowned to separate and costs a fortune to replace, but 2 minutes to [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Garry > well, since you've found that there no power coming from the relay, its time > to check the relay.

Yes. That was the question. > > Have you checked the solder joints on the switch ? > > renowned to separate and costs a fortune to replace, but 2 minutes to [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Garry from the ignition, check for a violet/red wire which goes to a relay which could be the ACC relay for the power windows, then a grey/yellow wire to the window regulator.

There are in fact 2 of these wires going to the same 3 pin plug in the drivers door (the 3rd pin is earth) but they have no power going to them at all. This is the wire that I have hotwired up to 12volt + and all the windows worked fine. Without the hot wire, nothing works except the central locking.
