My 89 Westy has power windows.  When I operate the passenger window from the
driver's seat, the window moves very slowly, like it is running on 5 volts
or something.  It seems to work OK from the pasenger seat.  Where should I
look for the voltage drop?

windows and the driver's side motor was trash. Process is simple: unbolt,
remove (once you figure out how) and the manual pieces bolt right in. I sold
the regulators and the switches but left the wiring in the doors. A friendly
list memeber (local too!) sold me new door panels which were similar, but
had different trim. Biggest thing was getting the stupid power regulators
out! I found it's similar to learning to roll a kayak -- on paper it makes
no sense, but once you 'get it' it's the simplest thing ever.
