Try this link for Noz's guide to fixing what is probably the problem

hi there its a 1996 xm no sounds just not working , could it be a relay as both front windows arnt working

Hi

Have you tried the fuses. My owners manual lists 3 fuses for the electric windows:
F35 - front windows
F26 - rear windows
F9 - window controls
Each version and model of XM seems to have a different fuse layout so you will need to check your own manual.

Hi,

Not sure if there is a relay. I do know that the command buttons are prone to failing because of dirt ingress, you can take them out and apart and then clean.

Not sure if I should be adding this here but....

My passenger electric window is erratic - works sometimes. All other windows are fine. Quite clearly the window is not getting any power (as opposed to motors whirring and no movement) but the Haines manual isn't exactly detailed. It might just be a relay in the passenger footwell, I think.

Any experience would be useful.

As a rider - can the lights in the switches be replaced - or does it need new switches.

Vehicle is Mk 2 2.5tD Exclusive

icoleman,

the bulbs in the switches can be replaced, open up a switch and take the bulb to citoren who will give u one off the shelf.

re. the window, I'm almost sure that the passenger window switch on the passenger door is connected in series with the passenger window switch on the driver door, so if one is not working, nothing is working. Same goes for rear window switches (on door and in middle console). If at least one of your rear windows are working OK, u could exchange both its switches with the front passenger's so to exclude the scenario that the intermittent function is switch-related.

same here, if your rears are working start by trying their switches on the fronts.

Relay 809 powers the front windows.

Where these relays are Jan?

Relays are under the dash .
Check the pictures I posted here and my last post.

I can post electrical schematics too if needed

My drivers electric window stopped working too, no sounds whatsoever. Take the door card off and check the motor plug hasn't come undone, mine did and that was all that's wrong thankfully.

Just seen it was both windows, ignore the last post.
