1998 Range Rover

I was driving a friends range rover for the weekend and when the owner returned, he called to say the windows weren't working. All the controls in the center console (ie. front and rear windows on both sides, the sunroof, and the side mirrors) are not working. We are going to try and replace the fuses but other than that, we have no idea what could've happened. Is there a window control unit on this model of rovers?

Thanks

Most often, the failure you describe is caused by a bad window switch pack, which is the circuit board that includes the window switches in the center console

Answer
Well, you could call Atlantic British, 800 533 2210, buy a switch pack and put it in.  If you're going to guess and throw parts at it that's probably your answer.

I'm not in favor of that but I recognize that a dealer trip is a big hassle for some people, and 9 times out of 10 the switch pack is the answer to this particular issue.

No guarantees, though.  If that doesn't fix it you'll have to bite the bullet and have it tested.  And you'll need a shop with the specialist LR test system to do it.
