Re: window problems

Did you check for power at the switch? check the fuse? Did they both quit working at the same time?

Re: window problems

Yes checked fuses, theyre good. I had a chance to swap out the window switches with olds ones that i know work, and still no luck. I havent had time to look much more into it but i figured id ask for any suggestions on what to do. Also yes they both just stopped working.

P.s. The car is a 87 Gta

Did you check for power at the switches? Possibly a bad ground.

Re: window problems

I did notice when trying with the driver side switch it would act as if it was getting power but the window was "stuck". I havnt been able to do much else due to work
