Sausage Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Google search. No clicky no movey = switch or wiring etc. Clicky no movey = window regulator bits usually. Edited June 7, 2019 by Sausage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I need to investigate a non working leccy window in one of my SDIs. It suddenly started working a few months ago on a day when it was below freezing the whole day. Then ceased again once it warmed up a bit. I have a hunch that the anti fingertrapping 'system' is based on an over-current sensor that measures the excess current before the top stop is reached. And if it is, chances are that by changing a 5p resistor or something could set the current to a different level (to compensate for friction and wear). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldstout Posted June 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Two good replies, thanks guys 👍🏼 @Sausage you got any 'how to's" on here, I've searched to no avail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 what are your windows doing / not doing? Switches are weak, regulator bits are weak. You can bypass switch as here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted June 9, 2019 Report Share Posted June 9, 2019 Why not fit manual wind up windows from a non electric window Loop or Rosa, they are forever breaking, you get fed up in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get any further with your hypothesis? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
