825 sterling coupe window problem

Post by markcatch » Sun May 11, 2014 8:18 am

Can anyone help i have a 1997 825 sterling coupe. The passengers window has packed up and all the garage can tell me is it needs a new "module"? and rover doesnt exist so they cannot do anything about it! is it the window ecu i need? the switch and motor are fine apparently.

It is probably the cable-driven window lift mechanism which is faulty. The cables can fray or break.

Count yourself lucky, when my cable snapped the glass just fell into the door! You used to be able to buy the drum and cable assembly for a couple of hundred quid, but your best bet would probably be the entire glass/motor/frame assembly from a breaker these days. It's very straightforward to remove.

Does the window open at all...
If so, does the window still close with the Remote Fob auto closure
Just to determine weather the motor is still working

I find it odd then when my windows `play up` as they do from time to time i can still always close them with the remote fob,
It must come from another power source or fuse or sommat

Using the fob bypasses the window switch packs, so likely points to an issue there.
