MG MGF Technical - Windows stopped working again! Arrrrgh

Back to the drawing board, or should i say curcuit board!!

Fuse? f4 f5 f6

relay? R2

ECU? Multi function, window lift


Lets try again!

F18 puts 12V onto RL2 coil and contacts which in turn put 12V to F4 and F5.

luckily my local scrap yard has a MGF picture below so i stocked up on electrical parts!!!LOL

PS Fuse 6 this time!!!

Must be rare for a thread with that title to appear in a non-Microsoft forum...

As Rob says, water ingress causing a short might be the root cause, or perhaps the window motor is approaching end of life. A multitester that can measure DC current is a useful tool I find ;o)

That's an interesting picture for MGF anoraks like me. That's a circa 1998 Nightfire red MGF. What's odd is that it has unpainted door mirrors and door handles. That's a feature of the 1.6 litre models. Which were never offered in nightfire, and did come out until 2001...

Fuse 6 is in fan cct - if under the bonnet fusebox, is the radiator fan; or if by the steering column fusebox, is the engine bay fan....Still no windows or have they returned?

PS Mirrors were hand painted with matt black!


M V Turner

Oh dear! And the door handles too? Was this supposed to be some kind of cosmetic improvement????! Blimey!
