to "set"windows in a P38A

[51jay]

I've had the battery disconected for a couple of weeks, Now the car is all back together again none of the windows or sunroof work, the error message for each of them is window not set and sunroof not set. Question is how do I set them?? I'd be grateful for any help

Easy do a search here it 's been covered many times. Too long to explain it again.

Thanks for that. Being a new P38A owner I've been reading through the P38A forum, I'm up to page 21 with no mention of it as far as I recall. Just done a search on "set windows" it turned up my post

I'm remembering in my old one, just opened the window and cotinued to hold the switch till it beeped, then down and it come up with window set.....or vice versa, but that was all

Just had one do that, you only need to operate all the windows all the way down and up, no waiting. Then the sunroof to open, shut and lifted.

That's the way to do it! From the closed position, take the windows/sunroof all the way down and hold the button for half a second in the down position, then immediately switch to up and once up hold the button for half a second in the up position then you will see the message "window set"...

Thanks guys, unfortunately none of them are interested in moving even a milimeter. I've checked all the fuses.
Incidently a couple of people have sugested replacing the fusebox as a preventative measure. Is that the engine bay box or the one under the drivers seat or both?
Ive replaced the engine bay one( haven't seen the other anywhere), the radiator, all the cooling hoses, water pump, serpentine belt,viscous fan centre and the a/c condenser in a splurge of hopefully preventative maintainance. Never gave a thought to the bloody windows. All were working before I unhooked the battery. Maybe my wife really doesn't like me

Not to point out the obvious - but is the window switch pack still plugged in ? If you've had the console out etc maybe ....

I second that, its the obvious place to look.

Haven't touched the console except to hopefully and repeatedly press various window switches.
It seems that setting the windows is not the problem. Question is why have the windows stopped working. Ive removed and replaced all the fuses. I haven't touched the centre console so have to assume that nothing has changed in there.
I do have the panels off under the dash drivers side, i'm looking for the ambient air temp sender...haven't found it yet. I have replaced the one in front of the a/c condenser, it was missing...replaced with a resister.
The ambient air temp shows as - 38 to -58 and the aircon blows hot air trying to get up to 24 degrees.........I love my Rangies........just as well eh!
I was surprised at how much bigger and heavier the P38A feels, though still very nice to drive. Much more like a very comfy truck than the 93 Vogue which feels like a biggish car.
