Both rear windows on 51 plate Megane stopped working?

My guess is that that there is a plastic cog in the set up that the cable fixes into and this snaps on a regular basis. Chances of both going are slim but it is a renault! Bugger to change as you have to take the interior out to get the door card off!!

Well - with all these things there's a cost consideration - if there really is a faulty fuse - cost to repair 50p

The ignition switch calls a relay - which may be defective - and the relay fails to power the rear window circuits - cost to repair a couple of quid.

Or perhaps both control modules have failed at the same time - cost of repair at least £40.

XXX may indeed be correct - I bow to his wisdom...

Good Luck...

Unfortunately the Megane window control isn't by a simple relay as Good Luck guesses below.

Do a simple Google search for " megane convertible rear windows" and you should see a slew of results from people with similar problem.

Here's one useful looking result:

You MAY get some joy by getting the control module off the regulator, opening it up, drying it off thoroughly (think in a warm place with some dessicant), maybe a squirt of WD40 and reassembling - maybe using some silicone sealant.

There are also aftermarket modules available which just give you the basic functions - these are only about £20 per window and may save some heartache.

I just guess - I am not a vehicle or auto electrics expert.

On my car the electric windows do not operate unless the ignition is on - this means that there must be a relay to control power to the window switches.

I guess that your car has a defective relay...

Good Luck...
