Boxster window fault

[marcos3ltr]

Hi. first post for me. I have a 1999 2.5 Boxster, It has been parked outside for a few months under a cover while we have some building work done. Yesterday I charged the battery and managed to get it started but at some point in the process both windows powered down on their own and won't raise. I can hear something clicking in the doors when I press the switch (not sure if calling up od down?).

I checked all the fuses with a volt meter but didn't find any blown although I don't know which one feeds the windows.

Could it be a relay? if so, which one is it? there are several located inthe boot (trunk) behind the trim.

Anyone had this before?

Many thanks in advance B)

could be the micro switch at the latch for the convertible top.

unlatch the top, push the micro switch in( all the way) and try the windows.

when mine was failing i would just wack it and the windows would work til the next time. i think there is a post around here that explains the problem with the switch.

No relays. Fuses for the power windows on a MY99 are B6 (15 amp), C3 (15 amp) , and D1 (30 amp). Check those again, or install new fuses there.

Also, since the car has been parked outside for a few months (even though it was under a cover), is it possible that some water got into the cabin and affected the central alarm control module under the driver's seat? Check to see if the carpet is wet in that area.

I think I have this issue, I had my car stored at a repair facility for a couple of months, apparantly water got in and they had to dry it out, but my passenger window will not move up or down and I hear no motor sounds, although my driver window does work, as well my lights dont blink when I lock the car and unlock it...is this due to the alarm control module getting wet, and if it is what can I do to solve this?
