Re: Strange (common?) central locking/electric windows problem

Well, the harness seems just fine with good continuity between connector pins, so I really think that this is to do with the PCB within the drivers door window motor unit. Possibly a capacitor, as this would explain the time related problem following a connect/disconnect sequence. More investigation...

Re: Strange (common?) central locking/electric windows problem

I was thinking of taking the door harness out to fully check it even though the pins (Male & Female) in the A post/door harness are all good and the actual harness within the rubber flexi is undamaged to fully check continuity between connectors/cables. I assume I have to take the inner door ste...

Re: Strange (common?) central locking/electric windows problem

Yes, I have had a good 'squeeze' of the conduit/moved cables back etc but could simulate the issue. To add to the 'symptoms', having left the car overnight, and having locked successfully all doors from the drivers door, I found the fault was back again, and the key only operated the mechanical unlo...

Re: Strange (common?) central locking/electric windows problem

To assist this investigation, does anyone have any wiring diagrams applicable to this particular Polo. I did find a previous posting but the links to the diagrams no longer work.

Thanks in advance

Anyway, during a slight slackening of of the rain, off came the door card again and another good look at the cables and connectors. Now here is the strange t...

Strange (common?) central locking/electric windows problem

My son has recently purchased his first car, a 2007 MY 1.4 Polo 5 door with low miles and full history. Its a really nice vehicle, and drives extremely well, so much so that it belies its age. Just one small mark to the rear N/S quarter panel for me to sort. Anyway, he decided that he 'needed' to ha...
