Window Short?
Anyone ever have a problem with the power window lines having a short in them? I originally thought it was a problem with my motor, so I took the door apart, blah blah blah, and tried the window one last time before changing the motor and it worked. I start putting the door back together and notice that when I move the large plug (with like 8-10 wires going in and out of it) that the window will work or not work depending on how it is positioned. Has anyone ever had anything like this happen to them? Any suggestions on how to correct it? Oh yeah, it's an 84 we're talking about. Thanks.

Could be dirty or corroded contacts. If it is still apart, also inspect for loose or broken contacts. Spray the contacts with a good electrical cleaner. Do the same with the window switch.
