Subject:REQ: 91 Carat Wiring Harness (Door)
From:Joe Chasse
Date:Mon, 9 Jun 2003 14:08:58 -0400

Ok so my window problems have not gone away (just a lack of weekends to work
on it)

The problem-
window went down but not up

the fix(es)
new switch - no change
new regulator & motor - no change
cut and reversed wires into switch at listmembers suggestion (reversed
problem up /no down)

AH-HA...the problem defined...
After the suggestions of listmembers (BIG THANKS) I think I have tracked it
down to a bad ground somewhere.
The key is somewhere, I have not seen any obvious brakes after hauling the
boot off that the wire harness passes through between the van body and the
door.

***The wife has informed me however that she no longer desires to splice
wires while we are cruising around town whenever she want to use the
window***

Proposed solution....
I am looking for a complete wireharness replacement for the section of the
Van from the connectors behind the glove box all the way through the door.
(The electric locks and mirror work so perhaps a complete replacement is
overkill, but the perfectly fine speaker does not work either.)

Any suggestions on sources for the harness or other proposed solutions are
greatly appreciated.
Not sure I want to try to recreate this entire harness one wire at a time :(

Thanx
Joe
