Slow leccy windows

[Stagdad]

Before you delve to deep Steve it may be worth by passsing the thermal device and see how they are. IIRC both windows share it, so it's is common to both of them and you say there both slow.

Will try that Ian thanks

Hi Ian,

When you're up against a problem, anything is worth trying ! However, isn't the thermal device a straightforward ON/OFF system ? If so, I would have thought it was just yes or no ....bit like a Virgin

Like you say Julian anything easy is worth a try, but any component can offer a resistance if only at its connections. A quick check by putting a volt meter in parallel will show this. In other applications I have known them play up and we used to cut them out the circuit and replace them with a tripping blade fuse and holder. I suggested bypassing it as it is shared by both windows, so as I said common to both and both are slow

Of all the descriptions of electrical devices, I havent come across that one before Julian. It would certainly liven up any text book or lecture.

Although a thermal fuse is basically an on/off device, it and its connections will have some resistance which saps voltage when current flows through it.

Have the frames been out of the car for any reason and not put back right, slight twist etc !!

Hi Steve, windows fly up and down when concerted direct to a 12v supply straight to the motor so it's a resistance somewhere I think. Didn't get a chance to take a look today but have a week off soon to get stuck in.
Cheers Steve

There is an electrical wiring fix, posted before if you search, can't remember what it is though it was moving a wiring on the relay board or something!
