    Windows and Sunroof dont work

    Hi Guys I used to have sunroof and windows that opened and closed.
    Can anyone help on fuses or could it be ignition switch or relays.
    Need help Please

    I have just experienced similar problems (ABY 1993) and it turned out to be a sticking relief relay. It also switches off indicators. wipers, etc while the starter motor is cranking the engine.

    It is in the fuse box (marked on the lid) - I took mine out and "bent the pins" a bit and it sprnag back to life (but I put a new one in since it is no doubt on the way out).

        Mine does this briefly intermittently and most often on scorchingly hot days (like yesterday). As my aircon works I haven't got round to investigating. Thanks for the tip to fix it.

          I pulled out the relay shook it a little bent out the prongs but that didnt do it.Every thing else works on the car but the windows and sunroof.
          Anyone know if are any other relays or fuses anywere.I have ordered another relay just in case it is it.

            There are a whole bunch of relays under the instrument cluster - you have to remove the driver side kick panel (3 small bolts) to get to it. If you have hassles I have the wiring diagrams - just give me a shout!
