Sounds a bit like an old Genesis album but as the temperatures get higher it's not much fun for me. I have only 1 electric window left working on my 1996 Disco. Good and bad news is that it's the passenger side, as I live in France with a RHD car that's useful so my wife can get car park tickets and life at the payage is still just as easy.

What are the usual problems with the electric windows?

I really need to get them working again properly and quickly before I boil.

Have you checked the fuse's, center console/door switches? failing that the actual window mechanism's. Lot's of threads on her about them, not often 3 go at once though

Assuming it's a 5-door Disco, the rear windows often fail due to a dry joint on a circuit board. This can be rectified cheaply by re-soldering the affected joints and this usually repairs the rears. The circuit board is found behind the passenger side glove box.

The drivers one not working is more unusual so I would be going for fuse checks, relay checks, listen to hear if the motor in the door is working, take out the centre window control panel and check to see that all is plugged in correctly.

Good luck

I don't have a lot to go on, not even an owners handbook.

I found one fuse box under the steering column (are there any others?).
2 x 30 amp fuses in this box had window symbols, both of the fuses looked good.

I'll try and have a look for this box during the week. Is the circuit board readily identifiable?

how about the fusible links under the bonnet?

What fusible links under the bonnet and where are they?

Don't worry about them mate cos they've nowt to do with electric windows.
