Power window stuck in down position
It seems I shouldn't have lowered it with that plate off. Is there an easy fix to un-jam this window?
I found this thread: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-position.html
by newvetman & the suggestion by peterbuilt saved the day.....
For those who search & find this post I submit this work-around/fix to try before spending the long green on a window motor you might not need.
If you've removed the plate on a working power window then lower it all the way and it gets stuck in the down position, try this:
Get your jumper cables.
Make a short (5" or 6") jumper wire with a female spade lug on one end that you can slide on to the electric motors connectors. Skin back the insulation on the other end..
Unplug the electrical connector on the power window motor in question.
On the right side window motor plug your jumper into the terminal thats oriented up/down (raises the window). (the other side to side terminal is to lower).
Connect your jumper cable to the cars battery being sure to make sure the other ends aren't touching.
Connect the neg end to a good door metal ground. (I used the door control)
Touch the jumper you made up to the POS jumper cable end while using your foot to push the end of the motor in. Not much but enough to hold it steady.. You'll see some sparks but,,,,
Your window should raise........
If it doesn't try the other terminal on the motor..
Carry On.
