Centre Console Switches not working

Radar1946 · Jun 12, 2017

None of the switches on the centre console work, windows, mirrors and sunroof. I can get them to
work on my Lynx diagnostics Module Tests. but not from the console. Any ideas.

Sounds like a duff window switch pack. Did have a spare one till a month or so ago! Should get the code from nanocom either later on or tomorrow, when you free?

I am always in. Just let me know when suits you.

Check the wiring too the switch pack my old one had a broken orange wire it had rubbed away on the handbreak which had killed all the windows sunroof and mirror switch it also killed the dash illumination so mabye worth a check.

Can you see the switches in your diagnostic tool? Does sound like a common feed has failed as a pose to all the switches.

I can open and close the windows and sun roof on my Lynx tool. but not with the switches.
I am waiting to have the ECU and BECM synced, do you think it could be anything to do with that.

But, does lynx show the state of the switches?
I doubt the sync will change anything to be honest. @martyuk knows more about these than most.
The fact you can command them to close via lynx suggests that the BECM is OK but not seeing a signal from the switchpack. Could just be a fuse but you'd need to look at rave to find out which one.

Switchpacks are common failure - either one or multiple windows, or the whole unit completely.

Do the mirror controls still work? If not then most likely it's the switchpack that's completely failed.

I repair them and sell on exchange.. I'm back home later this week and think I have one left on the shelf which is repaired/tested of both sunroof and non sunroof varieties if you want/need a repaired/tested replacement.

If mirrors still work, then again likely to be switchpack. I know on Nanocom, you can view input switch states to the BECM and should be able to monitor if the window/mirror switches register anything. I'm not sure if/where lynx has this functionality though.

Hope this helps,
Marty

No Problem, Whats the address.

martyuk · Jun 14, 2017

I'll drop you a PM with my details if you don't want the old one anymore.. it can go in my pile of them to repair at some point, and then I'll have some stock for exchange units for people again!

Cheers,
Marty
