HI All, First post on here. I have been a long-term lurker after buying my GP about 4 years ago (06 Plate Eleganza). Many forum members have helped me over all the little issues these cars have!
Anyway, I have now come up against a problem I haven't seen elsewhere, so I thought I'd register and ask the question.
It started with the drivers side window fuse blowing, replace the fuse, all is well. This happened a few times, until it started blowing the fuse as soon as the ignition was turned on. I have also repaired almost all the wires in the door loom previously, and re-doing some of these cured the constant blowing. This worked for a few days, then happened again, but the window was stuck down.
I have checked the door wiring, and all seems fine there, all other functions are working. I have had the fuse box out, and I cannot see any signs of water ingress. After removing and refitting the fuse box, the fuse is no longer blowing, but the window still doesn't work, the button is not lit up on the door, clearly there is something wrong with this particular circuit.
Checking for errors with MES, shows nothing other than the usual stuff (radio missing, for example, as I have aftermarket head unit).
I'm thinking body computer, but it's not showing any issues, and appears to be a pain to get at!
Any suggestions for things to check would be very useful. Car is working really well otherwise, I'd hate to scrap it for a small electrical fault.
Thanks in advance
Will
