Both windows won't roll down when cold start 71' vette
Hi,
For the past 2 weeks, i've been having a wierd issue with my 71 convertible.
When I start the car in the morning, the power windows won't work... I wait 5-6 minutes and then everything is perfect...
Could be volts, or lack thereof. Turn on key. Try windows. Then start car. Try again. Batt is lowest immediately after starting the car. If alt is good, should be fine immed after starting. If getting weak it could take a few. Visual voltmeter. Park facing a wall. Turn on headlights. Start car. They dim a lot when cranking. Do they then immed get brighter than they were before starting? Also, your window tracks are either dried out or gummed up with old grease and need more lamps to move than when they were younger.
