Hi Ottie,

Link below is free complete 96 Disco w/shop manual. Should have all the info you need, and then some.

You will need to be on broadband because it's a 14 M pdf. (big file)

Check the maechanial mechanisum sounds like its jammed, I dont think you have an electrical fault

[ottie]

but the motor wont work when its plugged in and not connected to the window mech but will work when i do the same on the drivers door..

chk the solder joints on the window lift ecu (behind glove box) its very common for them to become dry joints so you wont be getting any power

ill try that tomorrow.thanks.but would this be the case as when i use the test light it lights up at the plug and after the plug before the motor?

maybe it might be earth, signal and power i am not 100%

might be enough current to light the test lamp but not run the motor, I have a cheap ECU if you need one.

thanks to all it was a bad solder.
