barmyarmy Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Was working fine, parked up went to the footie jumped back in the motor, sparked a cig next go to put the window down and nothing! Just a smokey car by now ;) It's a 52 plate Focus 1.6 Chic The other window works even from the drivers side. I can hear a click from the switch, checked all the fuses and they are ok. Guess its the window regulator/motor? Any advice or tips would be appreciated :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Is there a relay? or is this all built into the window regulator?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDCiST Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Have a look in your manual and see if there is a relay, locate it and see if it clicks when u press the button.. If it does, its window/regulator side thats knackered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay1981 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I would start by taking the door card off and check for 12v at the window motor using a multimeter. If there is no current at the motor, than you are looking at a duff switch or broken wire. If you have current at the motor, than you have a knackered motor or jammed regulator.

rojariggs Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Agreed. Switch or regulator at fault. Cheers Rog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmyarmy Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Thanks for the advice. Don't think I have a multimeter. Does the regulator come separate from the motor or is it all as one? Any tips to look out for when taking the door card off and replacing the regulator/motor ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDCiST Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 in that case, i agree with the guys above! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmyarmy Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Agreed. Switch or regulator at fault. Cheers Rog Thanks. Does the regulator come separate to the motor? Am I best of getting both and changing both? As I have no multimeter? Will be trying the local scrappys soon whenever they are open next.

barmyarmy Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Is there some sort of tutorial on how to do this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRedman Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 theres something on you tube its not much use tho ive just changed my regulator £65 from a Company called Andrew Page may be a bad idea going to the scrapper.Dont buy the kit of eBay it looks to much like hard work,the reg and the motor are separate so take the motor of the regulator and test it by plugging it back in then you will know which is at fault,hope this helps.
