Not even a blown fuse. The point being that the 123 power windows can function flawlessly for many years and many miles. My car was garaged for most of its life, and I believe this keeps the seals in good condition and goes a long way to its preservation.

Oh, I bet you're right on the money. My car lived by the beach, it has beach sand in every possible nook and cranny. No doubt the sand chewed up the regulator. I've kinda got the windows weather tight for now, for I have bigger fish to fry now, for the cooling system is in a shambles.
I almost think that one of the previous owners was rebuilding things, because a lot of parts are just missing, but other parts are brand new. I am gonna try to find out the story because it is driving me nuts, like too many chefs salting the stew.
