S2 avant electric rear windows wont work.

[Monkeymagic]

Guys the avant i recently bought has a rear window fault. Neither will go down..when i press the switch the engine revs dip very slighly as though they are drawing power but they dont move.
I suspect they are stuck through standing. However itls there anything obvious to check like a relay etc. Steven..

I dont think so, would be worth whipping door card off and trying to lubricate the mechanism first

[Monkeymagic]

It was my first thought. Cheers...

Definitely sounds like the motors are stuck, one of mine was like this on the indigo avant. Sometimes a tap on the motor will make them run. If you need a window mech or two I have 2 complete spare sets here

Does anyone know if the rears use a seperate thermal fuse for the rears? Ive noticed the rear switches arent illuminated.

Have you tried seeing if its the switches at fault? Mine wouldnt work so I tried a working front one and they worked so I got new switches and put them in teh doors. Now I have fully working electrics again.

The only issue is neither rear works. I take it the fronts arent interchangeable.?

[Monkeymagic]

Switches that is.

[bertman]

Switches are interchangeable,try pulling the switch apart and use some very fine sand paper to clean the contact points.Both my rears were dead,I found upon looking at them corrosion preventing the contacts closing properly

[Monkeymagic]

Cool. Only thing is it wont work on rear door switches either... ?

Pull the rubbers back on the pillars and see if any wires broken
Don't they work from drivers door?
Put washing up liquid between window and rubber, may be stuck there and need freeing off, happens on my type 85 every so often

I have looked in the boots all looked good, the rear windows dont work from front or rear. Ill get cracking on it and report back
