Helms manual goes along way with an electrical wiring diagram. I wouldn't dive in without one- unless you want to toss money at it. Sounds like a simple broken wire- maybe at the battery where the power leads tie together down at a common block. Lots of fuse links in that area. Just a guess, I"m at work and don't have my helm's bible with me

Davethewave7: I have a 89 Vette and I also have the GM Helms manual. I agree with KIze, get a GM Helms manual! Having said that, do you want me to send you some GM Helms troubleshooting info for your window? I can fax it to you on Monday if you want this action from me.

Agent86: Do you have the Helms info on a CD? Otherwise, how did you get those pages on the computer? I am impressed!
