Damn zed!!! Always has small gremlins to fix, I'm currently dealing with a really annoying intermittent driver's side power window. Have some spare parts lying around so I've done the following: - Changed the driver's side switch. Made no difference. - Have changed the black relay box in the driver's side door too. Problem persists. Does anyone know what else might cause the window to stop working? Is there a safety mechanism that stops the window working if the alignment is out? Sometimes it can get stuck half way, all the way up or all the way down. When it does get stuck and I press the switch, I can hear a small click in the door. sandeep mentioned both my black boxes might be dodgy because if there's bad soldering inside, you could still hear a click regardless. If anyone's wrecking PM me, might take a gamble and change the motor too.
Agree with Sandeep, changing one 20 year old box for another 20 year old box is not really an improvement. I had the same thing with my zed, it was intermittent on the driver's side. Ended up taking the black relay box out, opening it and finding some cracked solder on some of the joints in there. Re-soldered them, no problems since. Cheers, Kirill
i cracked open both black boxes. couldn't find any bad soldering points but apparently looks can be deceiving. he say lay it on thick and it'll probably fix it. i'll attack one of them and see what happens.
ey check if your rails are clear of all obstructions and lubed up with the appropriate product (forgot what it's called) Ryan
my god ryan and krill live? havent seen you guys on here for ages!!! also you can borrow an iron if you wanna try fixing it.. i got a few lying around.. alternatively come around and i will do it for you. also sorry i havent been around to help you store your crap ive been real sick recently.
this has been fixed btw. since i couldn't physically see which point was bad just resoldered the whole thing. seeing it's nice and warm today, parked it outside and window still works. very happy.
Weird, when I had that issue and in a couple of other black boxes I've fixed it was really obvious where the broken solder was, oh well, at least it's fixed.
