Power windows
cve77e1984:
Both my windows have failed to work, first the pasanger side now the drivers side. can any one give me some advice, or is there a way to at least get them up manualy.
cosmicvette:
could it be a fuse??
why would both stop working like that?
77CVT:
I'd check the fuse first, then the switch with a test light.
Cameron 77C3:
Hmmm. Not sure on C4's, but under the centre console in C3's there is a relay that powers up once the ignition is on. This realy then allows power to the switches for the windows. If you have this relay you can here it click in when the key is turned to ignition. Just a thought.
As I said I'm not sure if this is in a C4.
Let us know how you go.
Thunder Kiss:
Can you hear the window motor working while you operate the switch?
Early C4s have a power window ribbon made from plastic. after 15 or so years this ribbon becomes brittle and breaks. Replacements are around US$20.
Here is what it looks like:
It is also common for switches to fail. They're around US$6.
