My electric windows died a few days ago (both sides).

As I understand it, this is a result of either the fuse or the relay.

Question is which is the fuse/relay for the windows (UK model if that makes any difference?)

Thanks for any help given.

Here is a link to the Tech section of this site which has a fuse/relay map. Acording to the list on the page, (electrics>relay and fuse ID/locations), it is position 8 on the addiional fuse panel.

Hey, I answered a question instead of asking one!

Also check the contacts on the switches.

Any solution on this yet? I have the same problem - both windows died.

Switches are OK, fuses are OK, motors are OK, no relay listed for windows...

Still looking for a solution...

Unfortunately still no solution.
I have no idea were this magical window relay lives!

I did have fun on Sunday when the windows started working again only to pack up (open) as the rain came. Had to cobble a "jumper" to get the drivers window closed.

Also "8" on my Aux fuse panel is lacking a fuse or any cables going to it.
It looks like theres never been one...

Looks like Im spending this weekend tracing wires.

Well they're still dead

Cant trace the wires without pulling the carpets out by the looks of it.

Hope someones got an idea...

Power window relay - On my car (late '82, so it has the same HVAC system as yours), the relay is clipped to the side of the HVAC box - easily accessible from the left footwell (your passenger side)(check the other side if it's not there). You may find a "radio" relay clipped on right next to it.

FINALLY A SOLUTION!

If anyone else has problems with both windows not working, the window relay part number is:
944 615 112 00 30gbp direct from Porsche!

Located (On RHD cars) to the right of the fuse box next to the center consol.
Its red BTW.

I hope this helps some one else.

could be the window motors them selves, strange they could both blow at the same time, possible the result of a surge that the fuse did not protect. there are a couple of blank spots on the fuse box, porsche and VW liked to make interchangeable parts so there are always blanks and lose wires as a result of systems being combined. check the switches but sounds like if the fuse is ok and the wires are ok its the motors.

For what it is worth I have had my 88 924s since new and every several years I have to take apart one of the window switches and clean the internal contacts (rather than buy a new switch for $40). It is not hard but besure to get it back together the same as it was.
