elec window fault codes?!?!?!?!?

[mickmick]

only noticed this the other day and its a wierd one i think

symptoms are:

LHS (passenger) window switch mini light flashes, on, off for 2 seconds, on, off for 5 seconds, on etc etc etc etc


only just noticed this because when driving at night i'm concentrating on the road ahead, and during the day, well, you cant see it can you


oh yeah, also the RHS mini light stays on all the time when engine is up and running


any ideas yo uclever chaps and chappesses???


(i'm hoping it's tied into my lack of central locking, but i think thats a loooooooooooong hope)

Sounds like a dodgy connection somewhere, make sure the wiring harness is conneted to the switch securely.

The both lights should be on constantly (not sure whether it's linked to the lights being on though) as they are there to help you find the switch in the dark.

those were my origional thoughts, however there does appear to be a pattern to the flashing, i just havent sat there long enough with a stopwatch to work it out.

the fact that there is a regularity to the flashes does hint at a citcuitry fault, possibly involving capacitance/resistance in some combination however i'm not that clued up on elan wiring to understand where it might be coming from.

i'll look next week to see what i can find

if it id tied to the alarm what sort do you have?
original se , s2 or aftermarket?
sounds odd that it may be somthing to do with it but stranger things have happened ?
nothing else flashing ?
earth to mick - he is the chosen one - its a sign - over

[mickmick]

its an SE

alarm is origional one but turned off as i dont have the fob



erm, only other elec probs i have are central locking not working and neither does the clock

oh yeah, and the stereo is a genuine CASSETTE player, non of that CD/ dig radio for me thank you very much
