Hi there all

probably been dealt with before

looking at whether I can use the Bongo as a tow car for a Jeep Wrangler on a trailer for off road stuff

so was after what the towing limit was for a 2.5 4WD auto diesel Bongo

Obviously slightly dependent on the towbar quality

help please!!

Update!

OK well the horn relay was fine; one of the 12V feeds was only 11V and driving no current; new feed and beep beep

As for the windows three yes THREE broken wires in the door hinge; all sorted and everything working

MOT Friday and I and the van are completely waxoyled

Bring it on!!

great; I have weds off and some spats to fit! So I will have a look at a repair then; also like the re-inforcement you have on the outside there; looks great

I have factory CL; the auto close on lock mod sounds interesting! Have that on my Rover!

well drivers side switch u/s apart from isolating passenger side. I think it could be a broken wire as there is no 12V at any position on the wires; on the drivers side what colour wire should be bringing 12V up??


I would hazard a guess you have a broken wire in the door loom between the door ...

It is not unknown for the switches to be the problem.

They are not very robust and they act indirectly so the slightest damage to the plastic can affect the position of the slider below.

In the case of the passenger window, both switches 'talk' to each other. if one is slightly adrift the system ...

Fixed it !

Took interior out; removed the five track nuts and the four nuts for the rear hinge using an adapted tube spanner for the latter. Chocked up the rear and then adapted an allan key to make it shorter to fit the motors. Motor removal a bit of a fiddle but then easy to ID the failed one by ...

If its a 1995 then go to the start of the site http://www.g8dhe.net/bwm , select the correct year and click Horn on the Contents page, that will show the circuit note the relay code, next page along will show the locations look for the code and you will see its location - look carefully sometimes ...

Hi mine is a 1995; is this the bank of six relays at the front in front of the battery tray>??

need the horn for the MOT so need to find that relay

thanks; wanted to check out the function of the switch too to make sure it's ok; I figured could do this with a multimeter but am not sure what pins should connect to which!

short of finding a bongo friend; can someone point me in the direction of info on the pin connections for the switches on the passenger and drivers door. I want to check that the switches are working OK before pursuing other faults like relays; passenger one has been fine today until it would not go ...

My horn is out (no jokes please)

Its not the wiring in the wheel but despite searching on the forum I have not yet found where the bleeding relays are!

In the same vein; I am guessing that there are relay for the electric windows up and down; where are these too!

thanks!!

tried allot of options; hoping direct power will shift it ; I get a feeling the motors have stalled (I expect the dampness of the winter has furred up the brushes)

will do at the weekend

The 4 pin connector only has power;
Earth - 1A - Black
+12v - 1C - Green
and the two motor connections;
1B and 1D Blue/Yellow and Blue/Red
So try just linking;
1A to 1B and 1C to 1D and it drives the motors one direction then try
1A to 1D and 1C to 1B and it will drive the other direction if the ...
