RE: IML: 57 Power Windows

Tim:
If the rear windows work then the feed circuits are ok. That leaves the
switches and motors and the wiring between. Pop out the window switch on
the right front. Connect a test light from ground and touch each
terminal in the connector, one should light the test light, this is your
12 v. feed. Connect a fused jumper from that terminal to one of the
other terminals, if the motor runs then you need to repair the switch,
if not then it is time to open up the door and take a look at the motor.

Subject: Re: IML: 57 Power Windows

 Are there any "before we take the panels off" tests that can be
conducted re:  the mechanical or electrical systems that can be tried
before I even get into the clips, etc?  I haven't seen any fuses, so I'm
assuming that it's not possible to be as simple as a fuse.  The good
news is that my mechanic is very, very particular, and he and I take
this stuff on sort of together.  Any thoughts on pre-tests like wire
tracing or something?

Thanks.
