Got the new speakers in (haven't reassembled yet) .... nothing. Great. So that's a problem for another day. Reassembled the back and started on troubleshooting the electric windows.

Thanks to the info that I linked to previously, I followed the fault diagnosis protocol as written in the manual.

Disassembled the drivers side door. Wiring good, no obvious problems.

With my trusty multi-meter, I proceded to test for voltage (yes, voltage coming into the master switch is fine) then I did continuity tests as per the guidelines, then all of a sudden I bumped another terminal and the rear left window moved (bear in mind that I am only testing for continuity with my multimeter, not supplying voltage anywhere). Then I tried a few other terminals, + on the terminal and - on the body and low and behold, all the windows (one at a time, not all at once) would move, but only down.

I thought to myself, if I can get them down, then I can get them up... Gong.... wrong. I finished up with all windows but the drivers side fully down and no way of getting them back up.

I had my old ducati battery in the garage so then I removed each door trim and applied 12vdc directly to the motor to put the windows back up. It worked and now I'm water proof again. (bear in mind that while I'm doing this, the radio is saying it's going to rain... great)

So anyway, long story short, all the windows work (didn't check the drivers door while I had it dissassembled and I didn't want the pull it apart again) but they don't work from any switches.

Is the problem the master switch????

Appreciate the help guys.

So does anyone have any thoughts before I spend money on a replacement master switch????

I've found one here in Australia for $160 from a wreckers (or they are called Auto recyclers now). New here they cost $350. Now that's steep.

Thanks
