Hello. I have a problem with the driver's side front door electric window on a UK spec Ford Galaxy 2.3L petrol Ghia X. The motor refuses to wind the window up. I have replaced the motor with a new one but now it will not move up or down. Any clues anyone? A wiring diagram would be a great help.

Thanks

Graham

could it be the fuse in the fuse panel? Probably like a 20 amp fuse?

Hi Graham,

I have 2ltr. petrol and have worked on (still working) the electrics. Bought it second hand and it had been stolen/vandalised. First, plug you new motor into the left side door without fitting and see if it works. 2. the 38 pin door plug is a Basxxxxxtrd to get back and you may have a bad connection. 3. the door switch has a very small curved rocker plate which can overheat and go flat which leaves it in "no mans land" . 4. My local VW dealer brings up the section I'm interested in on screen and just prints it for me. The switch is considered a sealed unit and therfore no internal details are available from dealer but they are easy to open. Hope this is of use to you.

Thanks for the advice. All up and running again now. Was an earth wire that had broken due to fatigue where it goes from the door to the A pillar. Guess I shouldn't use the door so much!

Thanks again
