There is some corrosion on it also but unsure of the extent.

contact cleaner in a spray can from auto shop mate works wonders

It may come good with the cleaner, but moisture penetrates some components and any joints with dissimilar metals corrode. It may do good to clean the space between any circuits on the board, to make sure there is no tracking between them. Maybe redo any moisture affected the solder joints. Most of the components are cheap, but if the relays are stuffed, then that's where the big money is.

The first one looks like a choke, the second is a relay. I think the wreckers are the go. The moisture has done its worst, Kallen. Just out of curiosity, What part number is that chip? I have kept a few over the years, so I may have one in the shed.

This module looks vey similar to yours, Kallen. You may be able to source a cheaper one for parts, or it may just work.
The number on the pc board is ET1571. Hope that helps.

Well I got creative yesterday arvo and fixed the coil..
Now this has me stumped.
I plugged it back in and both coils are working, but only on the drivers window. No windows are winding but the coils are working..
The rest of the board looks good, apart from that burnt wire, but if the coils are working does this mean it's ok??

Interesting I'm gonna go have a look at mine. Does this control all the windows in the car?
