xantia hdi rear electric windows and sunroof not working

[lurchy666]

hello i just brought a xantia (110 hdi sx on t plate) with electric windows and sunroof, the problem i got is fuse 10 and 11 which supply the rear windows and sunroof are completly dead, does anybody know where these fuses are fed from as i have tested all the engine bay fuses and they are all ok, or could it be a broken cable somewhere

sorry forgot to say if i put a live onto the output side of the fuses the windows/sunroof work as they should, so it has lost the live somewhere,

Hi, Others with more expertise may be along shortly with other ideas, but having had this problem on our 90 SX V plate it iwas caused by a break in a harness that crosses the front of the car below the radiator, I "fixed" ours by permanently paralleling the broken wire from main fuse box to cabin fusebox.
