06-03-05, 20:37 GMT+10#63 Hey Jet and everyone else,
Just some advice on slow power windows. I used to work on Fords, and we found that if you spray silicon spray in the tracks, and be very generous with it, open and close your windows a few times, and the silicon gets into the window track rubbers and there is no friction between it and the windows. Another cause of sticky and slow windows is of course worn motors, but another that no one thinks of, is mis aligned windows. Align them to the tracks, and silicon spray them and you will have very few probs.

14-11-05, 16:57 GMT+10#72 G day one and all
Thanks for the great site
I have had some on going sagas with my power windows over the years. At one point I rewired the centre console switch and turned it around so as the rear, little used switches, became the front switches. That worked well for about four years.
Now tho, there seems to be no pwr to any of the windows for downward operation, if i swap the blue and yellow wires in the backdoors they can be made to operate in both directions, using the door switches
My focus is now shifting to something in the wiring diagram called "power window overrun switch"
Does anybody know where this is so as i can check it out?
