Window issues
Hey yall,
So heres the issue- the windows wont move, and only the passenger side door lock works (all power). Ive checked out the wires and phsically they look good, i put a little dielectric grease on the connections, and im thinkong maybe the relay is bad? The 30 amp fuse which is supposed to be on my driver side fuse board is mia...either that or i just dont see it right in front of me...
Any help would be great! Its starting to get warm and the little window vents just wont cut it for long!

I just read it, will actually do it after work tonight. Another question though, prior to them now working at all, they were EXTREMELY slow, as if the motor was barwly able to overcome the weight of the glass. Is this cleaning and such also supposed to fix that, or is that a regulator/ motor issue

I had to redo the ground wire for my main drivers window. It works faster. But when I replaced the motor I added a lil grease to the inside of where the window rides. And she shot up and down for a while. But has since gotten a little dirt in there and not so fast no mo.

oh you gots a old one like mines.
I would find the ground wire to each switch and then add a lead to the door with a self tapping screw at each window. I have read that helps our old tired renix wiring.
