G'Day All,

All My electric windows have stopped working on my P38, In fact everything on the center console stopped working ! NO Windows No Sunroof and NO Mirror Adjustment ??

I have check all the fuses ? All OK ? Can any one tell me if this has happened to anyone before and what the fix might be ?

Cheers and thanx in advance.

Does the centre console light up with the headlights on? This will prove that it is still plugged in. The centre switch panel is connected to the BECM via a Data link, so their is actually bugger all wiring to check.

The only suggestion I can come up with, is check the Windows using a Faultmate or similar, as they can wind the windows/mirrors etc electronically , via your computer.

Next thing you could do is replace the switch pack with a known good one. Maybe contact Andrew E.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jezza,

Try a known working example, I've just had one where the panel packed it in, no windows or anything. Just fitted a used one and all is OK:)

Just checked and yes the lights do light up when the headlamps are switched on !!

So i'm guessing I need another one to check !

Cheers
