[Mk2] [Turbo] windows stopped working.

Post by gerbil1028 »

Hi all.

Had door card off doing speaker upgrade and running new wires. Now my windows don't work from either switch, no up no down nothing.

Window lock button not pressed in :mrgreen:

Any ideas what is wrong I have power at switch wires.

That's what I took it as lol. Also did the tests you sent me. Have earrhs with continuity and two lives just nothing happens or changes when switches moved.


Fairly convinced it's a dead switch.
