Good morning Ladies & Gentlemen!
The weekend has been a bit of a disaster with the electric windows on the Discovery one.
All started well with being hauled through the highstreet on "a shopping trip". Then on the way home, went to shut the windows as the weather had turned a bit sour, Thanks storm Imogen. Nothing worked. No up, no down. Did the usual fuse check but all good.
Any ideas for a good place to start testing feeds etc?
Many thanks all!

Do a search, its more than likely the ecu behind the glove box, the joints dry out and break quite easy to fix

Another place to check is the rubber tube which covers the wiring between the door and the door frame. Constant opening and closing of the door does place some strain on the wires in there and they can easily break.

Just the one window or all of them? Did it make any whirring type noises like a motor was running?
