Greetings! I had to take a break from the timer project....

Now I am troubleshooting an electric window circuit. The drivers side works fine. Passenger window motor will not energize. I have already checked the entire circuit from the ignition switch to the input to the motor and switches and 12V circuit are fine. rocker switches both send 12V to the last connector shown on this diagram at the motor -- see bottom right on this diagram from Haynes...

The window is down and I can't figure out how to raise it so I can pull the parts out.

Before I do that, I want to check to be sure the motor is grounded, but can't find any schematic showing where the ground is connected.

Anyone have an idea where it could be grounded?

FYI, here's page one of the window circuit.

I thank you and my wife thanks you.

1. I don't think the motor is grounded at all- it's reversible
so you apply one polarity for up and the opposite for down.
The side that gets grounded for either motor (depending on
direction) goes through that middle wire on your first
schematic (the ground symbol is at the bottom). E53-5.

2. You should be able to disconnect the window from the regulator
(mechanically) and lift it manually. You can use some tape to
hold it up. With the door panel off, of course.

3. You may be able to disconnect the wires from the passenger
side switch and apply voltage to get the motor to run, but
I don't see why you'd want to do that- you'll have to detach
the assembly to get it out anyhow.


Before you get into that, maybe test that you're getting +/-12V out of
the passenger side switch (you may be able to remove just the switch
without prying off the door panel).. if not, then one of the two
switches, the lock switch, a fuse, or the wiring is faulty. If you
hear the motor running up and down but the window doesn't move, then
you have another answer.

P.S. you're sure you haven't just engaged the passenger window lock
switch? ;-)

Thanks, fellers. The problem has been solved. I made a note on the drawing because I'm sure there will be a next time....
