Xantia window relay
The electric windows on my Xantia has developed a periodic fault; Occasionally both the left and right window refuse to move. Sometimes you can resurrect them by turning off and on the ignition. Am I right in assume this will probably be a relay problem, and that I most possibly need to replace the control box in the front door ? Can the box be repaired?

Control box would only be in drivers door and only affect driver's window. Further the controlbox is only fitted on models equipped with one-touch control.
As your problem is found on both sides windows - the problem should be found in the common circuit for both : fuse, relay, earth point and power feed.
Fuses are known to fail intermittently and still look OK. Relays are known to become partly detached in their sockets - simple cure.

It is quite a simple mod to add the control unit into the passenger door. All the required mouting holes are there waiting. I modded my last Xantia and will be doing this one.AndersDK wrote:Control box would only be in drivers door and only affect driver's window.
I don't have the drawings with me at the moment but if you have a Haynes they are in it. I am guessing at a relay that feeds +12v supply to the drivers and passenger door may be at fault.
As a quick test when it stops working can you use the passenger door switch still or not?

Non of the contacts work when it has it's moods. I'll have a look at the wiring diagram in my Haynes manual this evening and see if I can find a likely caurse. I presume the relay you suggest will be a good candidate if it feeds both windows.
