944 power window problem
 

My power windows stopped working....help... I checked the fuse...it was fine...I replaced it anyway but still no good....is there a hidden relay or something......???? the motors are good....I can get them to work when I apply a 12 volt shot....but they will not work with there respective switches......

84 944......

There should be a relay for the windows in the fuse box...there is on the "late" 944s...

The book doesn't show one for the 1984........

Remove the switches and clean the contact areas and I will bet they work.

This a common issue and most often solved by cleaning the gunk out.

Check to see if the plug separated from the window switches . If either side is out the windows wont work.

I second, checking the switches, it worked like a charm for me.

If one is not connected the other will work but the mirror switch won't. At least this is how mine is. My passenger side is not connected but the drivers side works fine but the mirror switch must be in line with the passenger switch.

Power window relay is under the dash right above the gas pedal.

Thread is still on the opening page. Pays to keep tabs on what is being posted.

That did it.....found the relay right by the accelerator tucked under the dash.....the relay wasn't bad....one of the wires had worked it's way out of the connector.... put it back it and they work.....so how came the Porsche manual never mentions that relay..??????

THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP......NOW GET ME SOME POWER

thanks again.....

Knowing where the window relay is located is one of the secret hand shakes.

Check the PET...lots more information.

i thought aligning the rear plate was the secret handshake ?

i was taught the one that showed you the secret sock locations...

Argyle or sport socks?

OK guys...there is a relay uder the dash mounted towards the top....I can hear it click when I try to cycle the lights.....the relay is black and is double in size....that is, it looks like two relays in one long housing....it has two sets of wires going to each side.....any ideas???????

Thought this thread was about power windows?

Yes it is.....any clue as to what that relay does.....it does click when I try to cycle the lights

Define "cycle the lights".
