window electriall problem
Hey guys,
My passenger side window will not go down. Both motors and switches have been replaced some time ago and worked good. Sunday it quit working and won't go down. Can anyone tell me how and where to check it out with a multi-meter? Don,t know much about elec, work.
Thanks

If you have the door panel off, pull the plug from the motor. Put the red lead of your tester on one of the wires and ground the black tester lead to the motor case. Try the switch, ignition on, and see if you have voltage. Check the other wire the same way. If you test good at the wires, you may have a bad motor. If no power to the wires, test the switch for voltage. Sometimes the wires break between the body and door, inside the rubber accordian boot.
let us know what you find and we can go from there.
