I like wiring diagrams. I owned a commercial fleet shop for 10 years, and am usually good as long as I can figure out where things are (like wire paths.)

I very much value the knowledge you can only get by turning wrenches every day for many years, especially within a make or model. Russ probably saved me a few days of chasing wires. Thanks again!

So far, I'm getting a new driver's side switch (probably the lock button was bad there), and waiting to see if wires in the door broken too. I'm crossing my fingers not.

Hey Russ -

You nailed this one right on the head. I had to replace the master window switch on the driver's side, but the primary cause was in the wires in that door.

Thanks!

BTW- the master window switch bank is $335 at the dealer, and was a 2 week special order. I couldn't find it aftermarket (at least not locally), and used electrical parts are risky at best.

Willys55, Thank you! I just bought a '95 Limited "as is" none of the windows worked. After finding you post I found a broken black wire right where you said it would be and when I repaired that, all the windows work fine. Thanks again.
John
