Norge windscreen
« on: November 03, 2013, 04:11:23 PM »
Anybody have their electric windscreen quit on them?  Mine doesn't go down, but I hear it run if I hit the up button.
Thanks

You don't say what year Norge you have.

I believe that the earlier models were somewhat prone to windshield motor problems, not sure if it was actually the motor or more of a gear thing since I don't have a Norge.

There are probably some older posts either here or on Guzzitech that talk about this.

Here is a post of the repair I did to my 07 Norge. Mine did the same thing, motor ran but windshield did not move.  Actually turned out to be a rather easy fix. PM me if you have any questions.

Dragging out this old thread, I finally took the screen works apart and found one loose connection in the block for the down relay!  Tightened that up and all is well. Something to look for if your screen quits. I discovered it when I found the screen would work if I rotated the block just right.

I think you just made it to the quarterfinals of the 2015 Procrastination National Championship.   :laugh:

But thanks for that that.

I lube the gearing for the screen every season, and only use it at stops, but nice to know of a fix for that malady.

I was waiting for a fuel tank off service. I only lower mine to get into a short trailer!
