Windows on convertible: work from console switch but not individually
Posted: Fri May 04, 2018 2:08 pm
Hi
I have a very strange situation with my electric windows in my Megane.
Firstly, I am driving a 2005 2.0 petrol cabriolet Megane (2).
When I press the centre console button to lower or raise all 4 windows together, all 4 windows respond as expected. However when I press the individual window buttons or from the main driver console, nothing happens.
I have taken the switches out from the driver’s main console and put a multimeter across the points to check if the switches are still working and it seems they are. It is also very suspicious that all 4 individual buttons do not work at the same time. I have also checked all the fuses inside the car and they are all fine.
So as far as I understand the fault cannot lie with the window control module that is attached to each window motor (Temic?) as the windows go up/down using the centre console button, and the fuses seem to be ok. Is it a problem with the computer or connections to the computer that control the windows? Something else? Where do the wires from the window switches go?
If anyone can offer any advice it will be greatly appreciated as I am fast running out of ideas.
Thanks
Ryan
