Dodgy Window up/down

[Mr Plums]

Hi people, i am just after a bit of help and information.

As you may be aware, i have had a passenger window problem now for a while, originally my passenger electric window stopped working, so i bought a supposedly good passenger side regulator off here.

Anyway, this didn't fix the issue, so a few weeks later i decided to try a new switch, and 'abracadabra... shazzazzazoom', the window now goes up and down.

No.. not good news, now when i press up, the window goes down, and when i press down, the window goes up, and i chucked my 'what was probably a good regulator in the bin, hehehaha fucksakes!

So is it a possibility that i was sold a drivers side regulator, and thats why the window doesnt do as its told?

If so, i will simply order a new PASSENGER side regulator, or.... is there any simple wiring changes that i could make, so that when i press up it goes up, and when i press down it goes down?

Thank you kindly for reading this post, and i accept any help with great gratitude and thankfulness, like when i gave a tramp a fiver so i could stroke his Alsation 'Erik'

Cheers.

Cut the wires on the switch and swap them round.

Is it as simple as that mate, the wires on the drivers side passenger switch im guessing?

Cheers.

Strangely, after my door mirror switch & loom cooked itself, I`ve ended up with an eBay replacement that operates the right hand mirror (UK drivers) whilst switched to the left & visa versa.

Sod that Daniel , just swap the wires around on the motor .
That'll cure it

I only say switch as you can do that without taking the door card off.
(Yes, I'm a lazy b*****d!)

 

[Mr Plums]

Cheers fellas ill give it a go.

Looking at the passenger switch on the drivers side theres lots of wires mate, which ones do i swap around?

Cheers.

Have a little look in here

Passenger window only goes down, tried almost everything

What switches are you operating when it works backwards up and down ?

Switch on drivers door for passenger window ?
Or the passengers left door switch ?

Looking at the diagram is day swap pins 2 & 6 on the drivers switch.

 

[Mr Plums]

Its the same when i use both switches for the passenger side. Goes up when i press down and vice verse.

 

[barnesautos]

It's way earlier to swap the pins over on the motor . Then you'll not be messing with the wires on the interior side .

If lazy mode has set in , I'd say swap pin 2 and 6 over .
Confirm colours where they go through the door . Thickest wires as they carry the most current .

Have you got a diagram of the pins on the motor i need to swap over mate?

Ill give that a go this aft.

Cheers buddy.

No diagram as it should only be two thick wires the same colour as on the passenger switch .


2 thick wires to motor

Info of what the wires do

 

[Mr Plums]

If i swap the wires on the passenger switch on the drivers side, will i also need to swap the wires on the passenger side for that one to operate correctly?

Some Clio's have the door mirror switch round the other way @STEVE.M

My mates dCi I thought had been bodged or something, but some face backwards and some forwards for the wiring or whatever. Weird isn't it but turn the switch the other way.

 

[Chris_Beer]

@Christ Almighty why not fix it properly and not just chop wires to pieces lol?

Yea i think ill just order a new reg, its weird tho because it fits perfectly.

 

[Chris_Beer]

If it worked fine before then I would try another reg and switches from a proven working car if you can?

The motor plug (with two thick wires) can only go one way so no chance of it being the wrong way. Same as the switch plugs passenger and drivers.

Also I don't suppose the reg you got was from a PH1 or different model?

The housing must also be different, as there is a protrusion preventing me from rotating the switch.

Think I may have a spare switch somewhere if it makes it easier!

To be honest, I`ve learnt to live with it now, and it`s no great inconvenience.
Thanks for the offer though.
On the other hand, if you have a good JC5-129 or 089?
