not sure mate, but im having the same problem! mine ticks when i press the switch down, then either works or doesnt at all? sorry i coulndt actually help!

You just need to take the switch out and clean up the contact and spray on some contact spray. Worked for me.

Aye the switch trick.

The motor may need a bit of wd-40 as the bearings dry up/rust as well.

 

[rwaterman]

where are the motors where do you spray the wd40?

wd40 may free it but its not a lubricant or grease, if it is the motor free it with wd40 but use some proper grease afterwards or it will only seize up again

But i dont want to break the button. How do u free it from the pressure pad.

got to take the door card of to get to the motor or just take the side bit off toget to the switch,mine aint the switch though a guy from across the road said its sum thin to do with a thermal switch which explains why in the morn when cold it works fine but by the end of the day when it gets hot in this weather ur car is pretty hot inside so it heats this magnisium strip up and does not send power to ur moto!!and the reason why it works sum times then cuts out about half way up is coz ur moto is drawing a bit more current so it heats that strip up even more untill it trips,ringing renault up in the mornin to ask were this switch is not got it in the diagram in the haynes book

right then how can you grease the bearings? Come on tell me. Even with a grease gun you cant get the grease in.

To get it apart to get grease in you destroy the motor.

wd-40 does the job fine.

Get the door card off and you will see the motor, spray down through the hole at the brush end of the motor.
