Re: IML: Window switch (was The half-lit dome light)

["Tom Scott" <shelbyguy@xxxxxxx>]

Donn...that is my car that is having the window problem, not Rob's.  The 
window doesn't work from the master switch either.  It's got to be a wiring 
problem...just gotta find it.
Thanx for the suggestion about the pin on the back of the switch.. Hope I'm 
that lucky.

Rob, if I understood correctly your front window motor and switch work when 
in the rear door but not in their original front door location.  Does the 
motor run in the front door when operated from the master switch?

Remember to check the connector from the wiring harness in the front door 
that goes on the back of the switch.  The contact inside the connector can 
get "tired" and fail to make contact with the pin on the back of the switch 
(it's a sort of spring).  I've had this problem in my master switch 
connector.  I'd completely missed checking that part of the circuit and 
spent several frustrating hours tracing the wiring.

Rob,
I'm about to do the same thing for a different reason.  My passenger side
front window stopped working.  I switched the switch and the motor to the
rear door and both work.  I figure it's either the wiring from the switch to
the motor, or more likely the wiring from the circuit breaker to the switch.
Where the wiring leaves the car and goes into the door seems the likely
culprit.
