Subject:        Power window smoking

The driver side door of my '87 Westy has started emitting smoke. I removed
the door panel, etc. and found that when the ignition is on smoke appears
from the window regulator. It even sparks when I try press the switch to
roll the window up or down. It seems to me something is shorting<<<SNIP>>>

Yeah, I'll say!

Remove the fuse for the power windows before you burn up more than your door. Then check the motor/switch and regulator..

Good luck,
