Default Power window and power antenna problems.

What's the most likely problem on the windows?
Is it the gear assembly in the motor, or the gear
on the regulator, or both? The motor sounds like
it's running and the window will sometimes move
and sometimes not.

The antenna won't go up and down.
Relay (is that the relay in the pass side
of the console?), or new antenna?
(I guess I could check to see if the
antenna is getting power when I work
the switch.)

I'll get everything working one of these days :(

Thanks!

Check to see if the relay is clicking when you turn the stereo on/off - (its in the rear compartment) If it is, then check to see if the antenna motor is running all the time - if it is, then the flexible cable inside the antenna (the part that pushes/pulls the antenna up/down) is broken. You can buy a new one of these for about 20 bucks from Ecklers.
If the relay's not clicking, then the feed from the stereo is obviously at fault.

With the window, I'm not so sure, sorry! Hopefully someone else can chime in. However, you can get replacement gears for both, so maybe a question of pulling it down to see what needs replacing.
