electric window switches! help!

[dan-hipgrave]

Ok, i fitted my electric windows a while ago but they came with mk1 switches, which was fine until i fitted my GSi dash..

Then i bought some mk2 switches but the mk1 plugs dont go into them and the wires are all totally different colours - there are 5 wires on the mk1 switches and 4 on the mk2 switches as well :|

If anyone has a diagram of what colour wires do what for the mk2 loom then i could probably work it out for myself, or if anyone has wired a mk1 window loom to mk2 switches before i would appreciate your help.

Cheers guys,

Dan

I'm sure i've promised to take photo's for you before.... but...

i've gotta rip up my carpet around the centre console tomorow anyway, so i'l take some pics of my switches, and then make a little wiring diagram for you if i have time.... seeing as i'm doing some work near there anyway

That would be a great help Nick. I sorted the other problem i had by the way, cheers for your help mate :D

is there nothing in haynes that can help. their wiring diagrams (once fathomed out) are very useful...

yeh i have only got a haynes manual for a mk1 though, otherwise i could prolly figure it out..If someone could scan in the diagrams for a mk2 electric window circuit it would be a great help..

what year is your nova as looking at my haynes there are lots of different ones

[dan-hipgrave]

My nova is 1990 (G) and i am assuming the electric window kit is from a GTE as it had mk1 switches..

[burgo]

right your mk1 plugs are as follows

pin1=blue
pin2=yellow
pin3=brown
pin4=black
pin5=brown

mk2 plugs
pin1=yellow
pin2=blue
pin3=black
pin4=brown

so to modify your mk1 wiring for mk2 you just need to join the two browns and put them into pin4

[boredbloke]

and pin one and two are swapped over??

bit odd in it?

[dan-hipgrave]

excellent cheers Burgo thats exactly what i needed..

[burgo]

well spotted boredbloke altho they are just the wires to the motor so if you get them the rong way round it will just go down when you press up lol.

[boredbloke]

lol

would be preety funny espically if your fingers are in the window when u mean to put it down more....

...i done it on my head once....
