Car Forum / UK Car Forums / Car Maintenance (UK group) / September 200694 Escort electric windows - wiring diagram needed?
Bought this with driver side elec windows not working. Took the console apart and it looks like the wires to the switch have been cut. Theres about 6 wires including 3 brown. The coloured ones are easy to match up but theres 3 brown... Any ideas ? Or a wiring diagram ? > Bought this with driver side elec windows not working.

Or a wiring diagram ? brown is earth, so it probably won't matter which goes where. that model always suffered from crap switches, a new switch always fixed the fault. mrcheerful . wrote: > > Bought this with driver side elec windows not working.

Why three earths though ??? The switch has double contacts so you need seperate earths for up and down. The other one could be for bulb.

If they're both earths, they're both connected together anyway.

Are we talking earth or negative here? Two different things if you are wanting a DC motor to rotate both ways.

Earth/ negative same thing on DC JOhn >>> right - so it makes no difference to which other earth each one is >>> connected then ?

More to the point, on a window motor you switch the earth/negative between wires & the live between wires to make it go up or down. Did anybody ever make a positive earth car with electric windows? >> Earth/ negative same thing on DC >> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > wires & the live between wires to make it go up or down.

Hopefully none! :-) Chris SignatureRemove prejudice to reply. > mrcheerful > . wrote: [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Why three earths though ??? it probably makes the switch cheaper to make. |
