Car Forum / Jaguar Cars / February 2005KARMA...
Hiya! It was a beautiful evening with clear skies and warm air, therefore I pulled the cat out for a drive. Suddenly the rear window rolls down. I roll it up. It rolls down again and that's it, I've got a dead window. Relay clicks in up but no clicks in down; on both door and drivers switches. Hmmm This is a test. DieInterim > Hiya! > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > DieInterim Sonds like one of your switches is stuck in the down position, even IF the exterior looks okay. The Safety cut out fuse should be doing over time. Had this happen to the 420G. Ron Hi Ron, That was not the repair as I removed the switches and tested them. Blake Never mind the window, where are you with warm weather - Its bloody freezing here. Stu > Hiya! > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > DieInterim Hey Stuart, NW USA, Portland Area. This is across the Columbia River from me - That Matterhorn is Mt Hood <volcano> http://www.capstone.org/img/portland.gif and in my back yard - http://atlas.geo.cornell.edu/education/student/volcanoes/cascades_2.html Cheers, Blake Either a bad relay or a shorted window motor.... > Hiya! > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > DieInterim Hi. I pulled the panel and when I disconnected the relay I heard it click. Reconnected; click. Hmmm. Switches good, relay good. What else could cause this? Hint: Poor Connection. Blake Well It turned out to be a problem called "ground loop". My body grounds had become "dirty" and the window relay turned out to be the next best ground. After cleaning all known ground connections the window has behaved. I thought this might be a good tip if this was to happen to you. Piss off! Blake
