Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / January 2006Power Window relay advice and electric boot problem
Firstly, I have a 1983 Porsche 924 that I'm attempting to restore. (I know their forum is for 944's but the buil seem quite similar so I'm hoping some of you expects can help me) The drivers side electric window does not work, I've tried the fuse & switch and have now decided to try a replacement relay. (Offside works fine...) I've purchased a relay but cannot find where the little bliter lives. Can anyone help me out here? In addition the switch down by the drivers footwell for the boot hatch release. Does this simply unlock the boot or is it supposed to open the boot automatically? Either mine isn't working so am looking for advice on what to check (but thought it would be handy if I knew what it did first!!) Many thanks to anyone who doesn't mind helping me out.

Now the hatch *should* pop open, but usually it just unlatches unless you've recently siliconed the hatch seal and your hatch struts are in excellent shape... nate  Signaturereplace "fly" with "com" to reply. http://home.comcast.net/~njnagel >> Firstly, I have a 1983 Porsche 924 that I'm attempting to restore.

If not, I've no idea either! > (snip) SignatureRegards, Dave dave_ryman@hotmailNOSPAM.com http://welcome.to/daves.website http://travel.to/formula.one The passenger (offside) power window routes through the driver side relay (learned that the hard way over). Since the passenger side works, it is unlikely that the relay is the issue. Having said that, since you know the passenger side relay and switch are good, swap connecters and see if the driver side suddenly works. That will narrow it down to one of those two items and you can play from there. More likely, it will still not function. My money would be on a bad motor in the drivers door. Slightly more expensive, and more annoying to work on, but also a more likely culprit. Good luck. Ray the switch in the footwell activates a motor that will unlatch the hatchback - the gas springs then raise it up. if the springs are weak, and they almost always are, then it won't raise, and will probably just re-latch. So, if you hear a motor run, and it will open if someone lifts up when you press the switch, the latch is working and you need to change the gas springs. shop around, there is a wide range of prices. >Firstly, I have a 1983 Porsche 924 that I'm attempting to restore.

The switch has been tried on the drivers side, so will the very helpful knowledge about the offside using the same relay, it looks like I'm replacing the motor. Cheers for the help. As for the boot hatch, I can hear all the noises so will get someone to help me out to test lifting it whilst the button is beign pressed. Thanks again to everyone who's helped!
