Tonight's Issue
So I'm finally to the point where I putting the center console switches back in. I put the hazard, power windows switches, etc in the console before I installed the console and plugged the switches in. I wanted to make sure the power windows were going the correct way while I could easily reverse them. Everything worked as it should. I installed the console and now the power window switches are not working. I took the console back out, removed the window switches and plugged them in and no windows. Fuses are OK. Seems like a strange time for the switch to go bad but I guess it could go bad at anytime. So before I buy another power window switch, anyone have anything to try?

Not sure with the pinna but on the Fiat Spiders there is a relay that supplies voltage to the power window fuses 11 & 12. The relay is mounted under the glove box

Re: Tonight's Issue
I pulled that relay panel down when I removed my dash. I don't remember seeing any fuses, though. I will go back and look tomorrow. I found a diagram of the relay panel. It seems there is a power window relay, in addition to fuel injection, and a couple seat belt relays. I have not really looked at these very much. Can one on the other relays be used to test in place of the power window relay?davery wrote:spider2081 wrote:Not sure with the pinna but on the Fiat Spiders there is a relay that supplies voltage to the power window fuses 11 & 12.

Re: Tonight's Issue
I tried to jump the switch to see if the switch was bad. Still no windows. I assume my next two options would be the relay or the ground. Do anyone know if there is any way to check the relay without purchasing a new one?
