[Rovernet] SD1 power windows

[Geff McCarthy]

Thanks Ben. I have a spare assembly that moves with 12v, but it is labeled drivers' side, I assume LHD.  Is it possible to swap the motor to the correct side?  Looks like it is riveted in place...

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
