Sounds like your car is wet inside.
Switch packs have been fixed with contact cleaner etc.
 
Hi, yes it is a tad damp, was working last week when it was put into the garage, finished the work reconnected the battery and Oh F oops... no power to windows, I'll whip out the panel and dry it out, get some heat through the car too. Thanks Datatek

Damp is all it needs to feck things. Use the aircon to pull the water out.
 
Cheers will do, I now have the switch pack out, it had a greasy/dampish film with dust and pet hair on the switch side surface, signs of damp under cubby where pack was removed
 
Hopefully repairable, else it will be more of the hard earned on the green goddess :jaw:
 
After a good warm 2.5 hr run with aircon the hevac display is now 100% but the switch pack after a clean with moisture repellant elec spray and a dry out warm indoors, never regained conscious and was pronounce D.O.A on return.... Oh well wallet out again :eek:

I believe the switch pack can be dismantled and the solder joints checked.
 
I've got it out of the case, so might as well have a go before replacing it.
:crazy_driver:
 
I'm looking for a completely dead switchpack to see if I can find what has faulted/if it's repairable.. If you get a replacement one and are just going to chuck the old one out, then I'm happy to pay postage for it... Dunno if I can find a way of fixing it if it's a main chip issue, but want to give it a go...
 
One switch just packed up on mine today! Hawkeye can open and close window! So switch pack out tomorrow and some contact cleaner!
