Stuart Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Have a sniff under the dash - if there is a burnt smell then your motor has burned out. Happened to me and I think it's quite common. If it is, then SVC do them for about £50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deller Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 Check it's getting power with a multimeter if you have access to one. It might be the switch. Otherwise it will be the motor - nothing else to go wrong really. I have a few spare ones kicking around. If you want one you can have one for the price of postage and a can of stella!

bobw Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 Thanks for all the advice, but how do I access the motor? Do I have to remove the dash? or is it just a case of leaning under it and probably getting stuck in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlgurney Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Mine stops everynow and again and it just a case of pushing the plug to the motor back in the hole a little, Mine is under the dash on the passenger side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
