Ok.. Still on the drivers door issue.
Have tryed different loom, different ECU with matching BCM and have tryed new switch. Still no workies.
Motor works as I put power straight to it.
Does the drivers door have a seperate relay/fuse?

Just did the power windoiw conversion and i had this problem too... i have a vr acclaim and had all wiring bar rear doors...
there is 2 relay plugs under dash with the shitty tape around it... one is a 4 pin relay... poweres the rear doors and centre console switches... second one i used a 4 pin plug and front windows went down but not up... grabbed a 5 pin relay and it worked?
so could be something as simple as that wombles
goodluck man hope you sort it out

Found out that it was a 5 pin. Went to the wreck and grabbed it. All good now. She seems to over load it a bit. Blown the 20amp fuse a few times putting 2 windows down at once..

it uses a circuit breaker, not a fuse for that reason.
This is from my vr ss that had factory fitted power windows

Got a weird issue, when I plug a 5 pin relay into the Drivers side relay holder it blows fuse 7 (power door locks / radio)
What could be the problem?

Edit:
Ignored it, got myself a switch wired it up.. and went it for the kill and tried again and BAM. it Worked :D
I've even got auto down :D

So happy ATM. just have to install the rear regulators + switches and have the VY master switch moulded into the console and should be good :)

If you allready have plugs for electric windows in the front doors does this mean they will be in the back doors as well? also having the front door ones does it mean there are plugs under the centre console for the swiches?

I had a vr aclaim and had switches under the radio/console had the front doors but no rear door looms... being an executive i doubt the rear will have the electric looms
