Need help for windows and seats....!

jalar67 · #1 03-15-2007, 06:55 PM

My two windows and my electrical driver seat stop working at the same time. It looks like there's no power because the buttons don't lights and i do not listen a declic.
I have checked the fuses but they look okay. The ETACS computer (behind steering wheel) is well connected. Other little problems I have: my wiper, my pop up light and my horn works bad, but they work (for example: in intermitant mode, my wiper stop in the middle of my window... my head light pop down but don't go up)

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks a lot, and i'm very sorry for my bad english.

another host in this forum already have a same problem and he said that a broken fuse of 120A was the problem, but I do not found a 120A fuse !!!

that sucks man. if youve definitely checked ALL the fuses, maybe you somehow cooked something in the ETACS?

check your battery terminals are tight.

hopefully someone more knowledgeable will post

First off the passenger buttons never lit up. Now onto the drivers. Check the wiring harness in the door jam. Look for any wires broken off next to the the plug in.

forgot to ask, how the voltage reading at idle? does it jump around when you play will the accessories?

Have you checked both the fuses under the hood and the ones in the fuse box under the dash on the driver's side? Our cars have 2 fuse boxes.

yes exactly blinkRa182, when i use my flashers for example, my voltage jump around. I think my voltage do this before my electrical seats and windows stop working.

And yes i check both fuses box

This happened to me in my SL. All three things went at the same time. It was the wires in the door jam. One of them got caught in something and it broke, so check those.

Listen to me and Nesryn. Check the wires in the door jam. The voltage ALWAYS flickers on EVERY 3s when the turns are on.

So i have to found a broken wire in the driver door?
I asked it to you because i don't understand what means door "JAM".....
thanks

The door jam is the place where the door connects to the rest of the car. When you open the door it's that crack between the door and the car body. God I suck at explaining things

. Theres this ribbed black hose type thing that allows a bunch of wires to go from the door to the rest of the car so your problem might be in there. Look for either a broken wire or one thats been crushed.

thanks
Its not because i'm stupid

but more because i'm a French Canadian and i do not understand all english specific words.
I will check that tomorrow!

jalar67 · #12 03-17-2007, 01:20 PM

I found 3 broken wire in the door jam!

Thanks a lot for your help
see you later!

Lucky you. I had a problem with my headlights once and couldn't figure out what it was. It ended up being two wires that melted together. Found it completely by chance after about 2 months of having no idea what the hell was wrong.

I hate anything electrical on these cars...
