So yeah, Even after all this Cleaning None of my switches Work, Absolutely non of them =(

- When before they were dirty, the passengers worked flawless, and the drivers would sometimes work (rarely).

 

Isn't there a way to just connect 2 of the switches together with a wire temporarily just so i can get the passenger to roll up? im using this Ghetto Fake window to make it look like i have a window up =P

Did you take the window lock part out and clean it also?

Put the lock pieces back in and use the FSM and check the switch for continuity. You can find it on page 23-65 at this link:

Blue and black wires going to the driver side switch are the power and ground feeds... jumper those to the green+blue and red+blue wires to run the driver side window.  Just guess at the polarity...  you have a 50-50 chance.  Unplug the connector from the switch BEFORE jumpering anything though - the way the switch works you could end up connecting +12volts to a switch that's grounded.  Run the jumpers in the harness connector.

 

Passenger window switch: gotta do that at the passenger side of the car.  Plug the driver switch back into the harness connector, then unplug the passenger side switch.  On the passenger side connector:

red is again +12volts IF the driver side switch works and the LOCK switch is set to allow passenger window operation

green should be ground.  If it doesn't seem to work, just run a wire to a bare screw somewhere in the car body for your own temporary ground.

Green+blue and red+blue are again the wires to the motor... connect these to the red & green wires.

Here's an explanation of how to jumper the windows back up that he explained to me when I posted about my problems a while back.

The pieces on the far left of your picture go in a specific direction. Did you put the slots in them in the grooves on the plastic? If they are backwards, the switch won't work.

I know this thread is from a few months ago but I am having the window problem also. I have cleaned the switches like it said in the post.

I beleive my problem must be a fuse or the like. The driver window was working on and off for a couple of days but the passenger window did not fail. One day the driver window stopped working all together and the passenger window stopped working at the exact time.

I have checked all the fuses that are under the dash and they are all good.

Where else can I look?

It's an 88 with 125k miles

Thanks,

Update on the window problem.

Reading old posts and found that the antenna fuse could be the culprit. I touched the fuse and the driver window began to work. So I put in a new fuse in that slot eventhough it was not burnt. The passenger window is not working yet.

Any ideas?

Maybe a different fuse somewhere else?

I did just install an antenna but the antenna is not moving up and down for now. I could live with the antenna not moving for now but in Miami with no a/c all windows must be in the open position.

Thanks,

Pete
