kurt7 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi everyone, my car has developed faults with electric windows and central locking, does anyone know if I can just replace module , other forums say they need to be programmed but is that only for remote central locking? And iv seen a couple for sale do I need one ending in j or n 1.7 SDI 2003 thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 It's possible but unusual if it's the CCM. More likely are the lock microswitches for the locking and the press button switches for the windows. Either way, the top door cards will need to come off. I'd start on the driver's door first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt7 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 The drivers window works fine the passenger goes up but not down from drivers , and central locking don't work from key. Thanks il have a good look around and spray contact cleaner at weekend 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Ok, so the CCM is ok then if the windows work. It's the control switches. Water can get in them and corrode the contacts (rain, open window...). Can you control the locks with the lock control switch? If yes, then certainly the switches inside the lock mechs. You can't clean them with contact spray. They need to be dismantled (Sealed unit). Does the interior light come on when you open the door? Checked the fuse?

kurt7 Posted August 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Now locks work with switch, and interior light not responding to door looking at fuses but they seem ok do you know which one?
