where to start with windows

[bowserhound]

I'll look for it this afternoon thanks. Are we talking fairly accessible here? (with engine still in the car)

OK, I cleaned up the posts on the relay, but couldn't hear a click when I turned the key. Could a faulty relay cause only one window to work (poorly)?

It could be a stretch, but I'm having a hard time getting these window motors out!

Thanks!

Thanks for that Harley, I'll go out tomorrow and re-try the motor, I was using a battery on the garage floor and two thin 'jumper-lead' type wires to test.
I never realise the wires changed colour, I just though somebody had monkeyd with the wiring.!!

The window safety relay supplies power to all the windows. If only one window has a problem, the problem is not the window safty relay. This relay is easily viewed with the air cleaner removed.

3 windows do not work at all, and it's hard to believe that all 3 motors burned out. The one window (back) that does work is really slow. I was thinking maybe the relay wasn't supplying enough power for all four windows, or even the one that works alone.

Looks like I'll have to take out drivers side electric window motor, any tips and/or hazards in this operation?
Does the motor come out without removing any other components?

Make sure you have small hands before you get started.

I see what you mean - but it wasn't TOO hard! (putting it back in place and hooking up the mechanism might be a different story)

Motor does not seem to want to work -it's down at the local auto-sparky place for a check-over.

Doesn't seem to matter what wiring combination I use, all i get are sparks when I hook the wires to the terminals, not good eh?

Out to fiddle with the back-up lights, with a bit of luck it will just be bulb replacement....
