Thread: Puma Electric Window - not working

I have read elsewhere that the cables running from the dash to the door, near the lower door hinge, can break. I will check that out next by either pulling back or slicing the rubber boot of the cables.

Has anyone any further info or areas to check. Hoping I don't need to pull the dash/switch.

Cheers.

No info for you other than you can relax re pulling the dash - it's an easy job, 2X Torx screws, and a couple of levers (bread knives or similar) and she's out.

I'd probably lean towards doing a continuity test between the fuse or switch to the door motor terminal before pulling the dash?
Most multimeters have the beeper functionality which will sound a buzzer when continuity exists. Hook her up, then open / close the door and see if you can get the buzzer to stop (indicating a break in the wire).

Tcf, I can't add anything other than all you can do is check each component until you find the cause. Good luck.

The centre dash is easy to remove I've had mine out probably 10 times now............and the entire dash out a couple of weeks ago

I don't know if you have sorted your window problem yet, but my 2007 "failed to proceed" and I found it had melted the contacts in the switch. It was fixed by getting a Disco one and pulling it apart for the contacts as the Disco switch doesn't work in the Defender. It pries apart and goes back together quite well. I needed it going rather than wait for a new switch which is why I went the repair path, but credit to Landrover here that the switch comes apart and is still quite simple to play with. I hope this helps.
