[Rovernet] SD1 power windows

[Ben Saunders]

It has been a long time since I had a running SD1 but I do remember the 
window plague very well. Often I would hear a ticking noise similar to 
the turn signal but much fainter coming from the front left (USA) door 
and found that the switch for that window was stuck in the down position 
thanks to one of my daughters dancing on the switches between the seats 
(placement designed by bachelor). The master thermal switch needs to be 
reset as described by the others then if the other windows work but one 
having the problem then check to see if you hear the faint ticking while 
holding the switch down in the direction you want it to go. If memory 
serves me right there are individual thermal switches on the window 
motors and they are not shown on the wiring diagrams. If you cannot 
resolve the problem let me know and I will see if I have or can find 
another motor for you. I gave my last two SD1's to a friend and he may 
be willing to let go of one of the window motors.

Regards,

Ben
