    Hi Guys, I have a question for you all.

    I have a VX S2 Executive wagon and replaced the manual windows with electric ones from a wrecked Statesman. I installed the door looms, door actuators, switches and plugged in a fuse and relay. The problem is that my Drivers window does not operate :( Am I missing something? I have even swapped out the window switch on the console with another with the same results.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Woodfire.

    Are you sure the motor on the regulator works? Try connecting 12 volts directly to the motor to see if it works.

    It's sorted thanks guys. Turns out I need to look harder. I didn't realise that the drivers door used a separate relay to the rest of the car!! $7 later and all is good :D

    I was going to mention that relay but I went out to my car to have a look and realized that my car has a space for the relay but no relay, not even the connectors where the relay goes but my driver's window works as it should. So I don't know what's doing there.
    Edit: After comparing wiring diagrams it appears the Berlina, Calais and Statesman don't have a drivers window relay.
