Steve Kolenda Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 My 2000 R1100RT windshield switch has been acting up. Goes up with no problem but over the past couple of months the down side has worked sporadically. Anyone replaced one and if so how difficult? Thanks in advance. Steve Link to comment
Boffin Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 There are two relays controlling the windshield motor, one for up, one for down. They are located up in the nose - try swapping these out (or over for diagnosis) Andy Link to comment
Steve Kolenda Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Andy, OK, how do I identify them and what is the best way to get at them? Steve Link to comment
Selden Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 The last time I had the side panels off, I tried to remove the forward plastic, and was totally mystified. Does anybody have a procedure for this? I wanted to get to the instruments to replace the little wheat bulbs, but I might eventually need to replace the windshield motor relays. Re OP: If you get in there, may as well replace both relays at the same time; labor is expensive (even your own), but parts are cheap. Link to comment
Woodie Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Nose cone: remove main panels (mirrors) remove dashboard remove windshield cone: big bolts under mirror mounts I don't recall anything tricky about it. Link to comment
