Goodbye Sauna

For the past few weeks (conveniently coinciding with the warm weather we’ve been having) the eSpace’s electric windows had stopped working so Tim’s been enjoying a free sauna whenever he’s been out and about. He’d performed a quick check of the relays and fuses (in fact managing to check and replace the wrong ones!) but they still didn’t work.

Having had to drive it myself on Sunday in the soaring temperatures with only the passenger side rear window operational (as the rear drivers side is a sheet of perspex (ed. We really need to get to a scrap yard and get a new bit of glass!) i decided enough was enough.

After spending a while trying to decipher the circuit diagrams in the Haynes manual and checking every relay and fuse in the thing, including two incredibly annoyingly located fuse boxes under the bonnet Tim turned his attention back to the glove box. While fiddling about with it he noticed a rattle, and too both of our amazement a connector was swinging in the wind! Bingo, reconnected and the windows are back in action. How simple was that…

I believe that Tim unplugged it during the infamous ‘controlled emergency breakdown simulation’ and due to the excitement forgot all about it! At least only he’s been effected by his own stupidity for the past four weeks!
