Electric windows not working?

Post by canada karl »

Anyone know the best way to track down issues with electric windows not functioning. Haynes manual not too helpfull. Is there a relay or fuse to check first? I didnt't see one listed?

I'm in the same detective mode. My plan is to see how far I get looking at a wiring diagram, tracing the wire colors coming out of the doors, maybe pulling a switch. Play bloodhound following wires to relays, fuses, maybe breaks or dirty grounds.

Don't forget the two circuit breakers, red buttons, on the driver's kick panel.

The center button on the driver's door for child proofing,...

If they are in old crunchy neglected doors, maybe it's time to pull the panels, use the spark plug wrench to cycle, clean, lube all the tracks, x brackets, etc.

Kick panel

I changed out the kick panel. Didn't know those were circuit breakers :o ....that's probably my problem there....loose wire or circuit breakers tripped. Thanks for the info.
