The windows are energised through a relay when the ignition swiches on. Is the power getting to the relay?

Do the indicators light but not flash or is there no power at all?

also check the fuses, mine went haywire after I found out the wrong fuses were fitted, and then the fuse cover was flipped the wrong way around.....

The windows have a little circuit breaker that if it goes you get no power to th switches, it's located on the relay board at the back of the fuse box attached is a picture

For the indicators have you tried another flasher relayor cleaning the contacts in the switch, my flash stopped working due to a build of dust etc in the switch

this is exactly what has just happened to me. It went haywire as I finished playing with the radio wiring spent a considerable time taking it all to bit again assuming I had messed up. I dread to think how long it must have been wrong as it was before I owned the car

My windows packed up a couple of weeks ago as well. A small pece of copper inside the switch had flattened out causing a short. this blew the fuse that the previous owner had put in place of the circuit breaker! I think I have a photo of it somewhere at home. (At work at the mo). If I remember I will post it when I get home.

The same circuit breaker is also used on TR7 pop up lights I do believe if it makes it any easier to get hold of one.

Trying to use mypassenger window kept blowingthe circuit breaker on my last stag, it turned out to be a faulty window switch was causing this but both not working sounds fuse related.
