IFS window fault

Post by Thabogrobler »

I recently became the proud owner of a 2000 Kzte D/cab 4x4.

It needs some love and I am working my way through all the small niggles.

The current challenge is the front passenger window. It was working 100% and then one day stopped working all together. I did check the switch and it seems perfect. What else could it be and where do I look?

If the switch is working check that power coming to the switch is ok. Then check that power exiting the switch to the motor is ok. If that is fine then usually it will be the motor itself.
Sometimes a tap with a hammer on the motor itself seem to do the job.

Problem solved!

The idjit that put the switch back together after cleaning(me) put the one metal piece in the wrong way round.

I tried the rear windows switch on the front window and it worked, then the front switch on the rear and it did not work....then figured out the fault.

Man, I love how robust there trucks are! Almost 20 years old and even the electrics is still good!

Old School is always best, not just trucks, in every thing. Even the women are not made they way they used to be... LOL Another story for another day...
