Technical Electric window failure

[Allard]

Hi all,
I was warned about the charming electrical faults of the multipla.Today I wanted to lower my window. Yesterday it worked fine, but today it went on strike. I can hear a click when I push the button, buf nothing happends.I took a look at the fusebox but it is totally different from the manual. The passenger side works ok. Any tips?
Greetings Allard

To be honest the multipla does not suffewr from many electrical faults compared to most cars however if you can hear a click (from inside the door?) its probably the regulator has seized or motor faulty.

Did you fix this ?? Today my front driver window wouldnt come up... ive checked the fuses and the switches... like you I can hear a click from in the middle of the dashboard near the footwell - im thinking this is the controller for the windows... stuck and the rain be coming :-(

Try lubricating the guides and seal with silicon spray and pull the window up at the same time as pushing the switch. They can get a bit gummy and it's enough to stop the window moving, also due to the strain they'll go down but blow the fuse trying to go up.
Assuming you've checked that the fuse for the windows?

Ive checked all the fuses in the tray.. I still cant find B26 tho... The clicking from the middle footwell seems to be a motor controller according to elearn... i will prize that off and look.. pain tho as just stepped into the world of bugs.. i have a fugly bug jtd 115 elx- if you know where fuse 26 is that would be handy.. thanks

FIXED: Electric window failure

FIXEDFIXEDFIXEDFIXED Ok.. so easy fix.. removed cover in middle footwell. there is a green box with 2 connectors going into it.. this houses 4 relays one for each window.. There was a single wire which was loose into the connector on the right (right side).. put in a matchstick and gaffa taped the unit up before putting all back together again.. I really hope this helps someone else

Hi, I know this post is a few months old now, I have a similar problem.
MrMat says he removed "cover in central footwell" can any one tell me exactly what cover please ?
does he mean the plastic foot plate in front of the middle seat ?
Cheers

Re: FIXED: Electric window failure

I would think that's the one. It's easy to remove.

both my electric front windows stop working every now and then and both at the same time... I know this is cave man style but I found a way of making them work again... if you open the drivers side glove box where the fuses are located and give it a bang they start working again lol think the main wires get moved slightly everytime the fuse cover is opened and shut so worth a try
