Hello all,
not really sure if this the right place for this post. Apologies in advance it it isn't.
I have a 2ltr mk2 ghia hatchback made in 98.
All the windows are electric and they all work, some were a bit jammed when i got it but they work now (if a bit slowly ).
The problem is that the drivers side window switch can only seem to operate the following windows:
-the drivers' window in both directions.
-the front passengers' window in the UP direction.
Also if one of the switches inside the drivers switch assembly is pressed, it burns which causes nasty smoke . If this switch is held down for a few seconds then the fuse will blow.
Its really weird because all the windows work if activated from their respective switches!
I have taken the switch off and tested it with a multimeter. It seems to check out although the Haynes manual does not agree with my pin findings .
Haynes seems to display the circuit for a different model of switch to the one that is found in my car. They describe pins that don't exist in the connectors of the switch. for instance it talks about pin a2 being connected, but in my connector there is only a 'placeholder' for the pin they are referring to.
I have included the pins that i have identified inside the a and b connectors as an attachment to this post.
I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help me solve this annoying problem.
Many thanks,
Chris
