Rear side window problem

If you need help with your C3 Pluriel, that seems specific to the Pluriel (like the roof), ask here. Engine and Transmission problem must be asked in the relevant topic for the problem. The Pluriel shares the same Engine, Gearbox, Brakes and Transmission as the other C3 models (see above for the correct section).

Did you know the Pluriel shares the engines, gearboxes, electrical, audio system, suspension, steering and running gear with the early C3?

Hello dear friends.

I have a problem with the rear side windows both of them was with broke cable. I bought a new repair kit but now when I fix everything they again can not work.
When I pres the buttons I don't here any sound or noise from the electric motor. I check all of the fuses but they looks good.

The problem is that when I bought the car it was like that with broken rear windows. And now I don't know how to procееd.
Hope guys you will help me.


Thank you in advance!

You could check for a voltage of 12v to earth at the electric motor using a cheap multimeter from ebay to see if the motor is getting a voltage with the window button pressed.

The rear window fuse is the same as the roof one (according to the manual).

You may have two faulty window switches, so test them with that mutlimeter or just swap them for a know working one.

Check you have connected the new cables correctly. With the cable regulator disconnected from the motor, does the motor make a noise or move when operating the switch?

Dear C3CAR,

Thank you for your answer.
The problem is that I don't have voltage on the electric motor. The motor is working ( I give him voltage from other accumulatоr and it's work).
The window button also working well. I check the all fuses under the steering wheel and all of them looks good.

Some other ideas how I can get voltage?

Check the simple things first. Is there a child lock button for the rear windows? (Usually on the drivers window switch panel if there is one).
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence and pretend you never tried :lol:
