Had problems with alarm going off m finally got a glimpse of error message

Sounds like a faulty m/switch in door catch.Get the door card off to check for bad/dirty/loose/corroded connections ,and check where the wiring goes from body to door.

Broken wires between the door and the B pillar are also a possibility.

Ok

Door card off all wires look ok?

Central locking works

But the window won't go up or down returns window not set error from both door control and centre consul ? So power is getting to the door

Can't drive car as car thinks door open and won't raise off the ground

Anymore suggestions ??

Cheers

Are the rear door locks driven by an out station or is it just fronts?

Each door has an OutStation that looks after the Window functions, Central Locking etc....if this little black box is confused it may be giving you problems.

Not 100% sure - I thought they all had an Out Station...will check.

You can't tell if the wires are broken by just looking at them, the wire breaks inside the insulation. You have to test them with an ohm meter for continuity, or a voltmeter to check for the correct voltage/ earth levels.

I don't think wires are broken otherwise c/l wouldn't work , or feedback from window switch ?

Or am I grasping at straws

C/L and Windows use diffreent wiring in the loom - so it is possible for one to be broken whilst the remainder of the services are fully functional....
