Subject:Power Window Failure Diagnosis
From:Tom Forhan
Date:Sun, 18 May 2003 10:23:18 -0700

Symptoms: Passenger window inop - neither up nor down
from either the drivers and passenger side switches.
Little lights on each switch are illuminated, however.

Looking at the wiring diagram for my '90 in the
Bentley, it looks like if there is power to the
switches, then the lights will be on when the ignition
is on, and they are.

However, when either switch is activated the lights
dim substantially. Would this dimming correspond to
the motor being burned out?

(I know I can pull the upholstrey panel and test power
to the actual motor and then see if its not
responding, but right now I have my diff lock all over
the garage floor, and I am just starting to think
about the window as my next task)

Thanks

Tom F.
