I have no idea if/how IX wiring in terms of power windows is different (doesn't make sense to me that it would, but wouldn't surprise me if it is) but I would browse through the wiring schematics and see if they are in fact the same between the IX and another model/car.

Although i did take off my white base(e36) switches and wire them to the rears, just as i did the fronts and they worked! I think the blues might just be bad. If anyone has white base e36 switches let me know. Thanks.

I'm not sure I'm following you here. So to test if the blue e36 switch is bad, take a mulitmeter and "follow the pins"? How do I know if its not sending current when I press up or down? I'm not the best when it comes to electronics.sigpic

e36 blue switch test
ok, so I set my multi meter to Ohms rx10.
put the black lead on the black/yell wire and the red lead to the blue wire. Needle goes all the way to the right. When I hit the down switch, the needle goes to the left.
Then i set the black lead on the blue/green wire, and the red lead on the black wire, needle on MM goes right. I press the up button on the switch and the needle goes left.
Is that the right way to test the switches? Are they good?sigpic
