    Additional info.

    It’s a small little thin two spade relay/switch/fuse, in a cheap looking aluminum silver casing with a bit of coloured paint on the top. I think it’s made in Indonesia or somewhere unusual.

    The relevant photo would be so much more informative.

    Windows move at correct speed when they work.

    Sunroof is on the same relay, it's behind the shelf under the steering wheel, approx where your right knee is - If the window switches are not illuminated with the ignition on, then you will find the roof & windows won't work - Remove the relay & clean the contacts

    sidrick,

    I think there are small little cheaper looking thermal fuses in the are under the driver’s knee on the relay boards that may be the cause of the fault. Replace with a new one, or a second hand one and it may resolve the problem for you.

    Others on here should be able to post a photo of them to help you.

    Kind regards.

    Intermittent Electric Window Issue

    Hi guys,

    I own a 1996 2wd 2.0E. I've had it for almost two years and it's my pride and joy.

    Recently the electric windows have stopped responding to me pressing the switch on the drivers door. They'll jump into life after a short time, then cut out occasionally. I assumed this might be the relay (where is this?!) but I tried the sunroof when it happened today and it was inop as well.

    Does the sunroof run through the same relay and is this a likely cause, or is there something more sinister or common afoot?

    Thanks in advance
Working...
