3 Cheers for my next door neighbour

[barabus]

Just spent 3 hours in the garage with my mate Kev next door who I always call on when I'm in the ****!! He's an electrician. Now have any of you who are not leccy's ever tried to fathom a wiring diagram? Its head exploding stuff.

Problem is I had no power to the window winder motor and he had to trace it back to the fault, well I was bamboozled to say the least. He traced it to behind the passenger footwell and whilst fiddling with wires he found a relay half hanging out, pushed it back in and presto full power restored. He did say the wiring diagram was crap tho with some wrong colours marked.

So now all I gotta do is reconnect everything oil and grease it up and see if its improved, fingers crossed!!

That was a result then m8.Normally window,headlamp,wiper motors etc are pretty reliable,it is usually down to bad connections.
