Continuing w/B. Curlee Advice - Windows Not Working
To continue some advice Bill was providing for me a few weeks ago regarding the problem I'm having with windows that won't roll up or down and No Comm. messages popping up on the DIC.
The original thread was here:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...t-again-2.html
And the advice that I just got done following:
After testing my DMM (using the DC 20 setting) to check the battery I got a reading of 12.42. Going back to the fuses (30, 31, 33, 34) and checking them again I am still getting a solid 0.00 reading from them.
At this point I'm stuck until I can get some further direction on what to check. I was wondering, is it possible the seat connector(s) or ignition switch could be causing this problem?
Edit- After checking again using a different ground I am getting 12.26 from each of the four fuses.

The fuses for the DCM are HOT at ALL Times. If you didnt read battery voltage on those fuses, you really do have something seriously wrong.
Use the meter and read directly on the battery terminals to make sure that the meter is working properly.
Then read the test points on top of the fuse to chassis ground.

You will need to pop out the accordion tubes for BOTH doors...Fish out the connectors from the hole on the BODY A pillar (where the accordion tube fits in)and Disconnect the connectors/
Examine the female connector with SIX pins. If any of the pins are deformed or bent, use a pick and bend the tongue back up to make positive connection with the male pin.
Plug it back in and give it a test.

I would be typing all night.. BUT,,, CALL ME and we can talk and get it done.
You will need to beg borrow or obtain a meter that you can operate to measure OHMS and DC Volts.
Take the door panel off and give me a CALL.
