82 T/A Power Window Question
82 T/A Power Window Question
Hi everyone--
I have an 82 Trans Am that I just broke out of the garage for the nice weather here in Michigan. It's running great, but, of course, on a nice day, I put the windows down and now my passenger window won't go up. I'd say it had been up/down at least twice today with no issues at all (went up/down at normal speed). My driver's side window is fine.
When I push the switch on the console for the passenger window (in either direction), I don't hear anything...not a click, and the motor is certainly not doing anything. My question is, how can I figure out what's going on here (i.e. if it's a bad window motor, or a bad switch)? How do I remove the switches from the center console (probably my first bet since they're looking a little old anyway and I should replace them)? If that doesn't work, how do I pull the door panel off? Where can I get some new switches? The window is currently 100% of the way down.
Anyway, just got the car out...now it's back in the garage again. Can't seem to win. Car has 32,000 miles and window motors are original but did work great.
