Thread: Intermittent power windows

I had periodic problems with the power windows at times just not moving. From the archives this is a common problem with a car that is 22 years old. I replaced all 3 switches and all seemed well. Today no movement from driver or passenger side. I found no power to the switches with the door closed and the key on. However there was power when the door was fully open. Everything worked fine. There was no power to the switches until the door...

From the sound of it you have an intermittent connection - maybe at the connector inside the fender ? Maybe something's dislodged or dirty ? Try break and remake the connector. If the driver's side door was "open" I could imagine that the passenger side switch would not work either. Mark Petry Bainbridge Island, WA

or any wiring that may have worn through (within the door to car attachment area...not sure how that's handled on your year ). I know that I've a worn area on my 89 in the harness that goes from the door to the body....just from flexing over so many yars. Doyle
