Hello folks,

Been a while, life has been busy but the trusty old girl is still soldiering on in daily use.

I have an electrical question. Where are the earth points? I would look on RAVE but my old computer is refusing to open it.

I am specifically after the earth point for the front windows. I have discovered that the earth point on the A posts behind the kick panel do not appear to be it as I can still hear the door outstation module clicking away with all the wires disconnected from this point.

The issue is the drivers window often refuses to move. It works fine if you hot wire it from a battery and I made up a set of jumper leads to try operating it from the passenger door and vice-versa, the result being that the drivers window worked fine from the passenger side and the passenger window stopped working. As the door outstations sound to be doing their job I am suspicious that the earth/ground may be poor.

Regards,

Smiler.

It gets the ground through the outstation but that goes through a 4 way connector at the end of the rubber tube at the A post, so looking there might be a good idea. If it is high resistance it will be fine for locking and mirror but will fail as soon as you try to draw lots of current through it.

Thanks, I shall have a look. That whole area looked clean and dry but I'll disconnect the plug and make sure all is well. Cheers.
