power window question
I locked myself out of my car today and called AAA. They put a wedge between the window and stuck a tool inside and opened the door. Later I discovered the driver's side (the side they unlocked) power window doesn't work. Any chance they damaged something. The passenger side works fine. When you hit the switch I notice the interior light dim a bit like there is power to the motor.

I don't think so, the wire is very low towards the bottom of the door, most likly a broken wire at the hing point, where the wires bend everytime the door is opened or closed.

power windows
I tried pushing down as I ran the switch ... no luck. I can't even see where the wires go through the door. :o
I guess I'll take it somewhere ...

I've got to believe something got dislodged or severed electrically with the slim-jim.
The door panel is pretty easy to remove and have a look around.
Getting the latch **** and lock ***** off are the tricky part.

I called AAA and they said they'd send a locksmith?? out to fix the window on the vette.
