when i refered to power i meant that the motor was continuosly (sp?) moving after splicing into the ground and grounded it to the screw on the door, the motor wouldnt shut of unless i disconnected the wires.

i am also having intermittent trouble with my fan blowing, ac not working, tach i think that is it.

we will get it

cleaned the bango bolt and adjusted the alda - it is a different car

Looks like what Tango said about power to both leads on the motor is correct. I guess switch position determines which side gets grounded.

Remember, the brown wire is ground.

I had off and on problems with the windows. Cleaned the contact and replaced two switches and now they work fine. You will also find the fuses, in the fuse panel, need to be jiggled occasionally. This my be your A/C problem.

It's not that simple. Both of the wires connected to the window motor are "dual purpose." Whether they are positive or negative (or both positive) depends on the switch position. The Brown wires ground the switches, not the motor directly.

tango i appreciate you being on top of this with me.

hmmm not making this easy. i assumed that the black was ground green pos. when i screwed the black to the door and the motor worked continuously i thought it was the switch.

i am confused and need a break i have been dealing with this for a week. iam tempted to button it up and move on. i need a break in the case soon.

You probably have a broken wire between the door switch and the console switch. I would check for continuity between the door switch connector and the console switch connector (for each wire.)

The wires tend to break where they flex at the door/frame interface. The wire bundle is easily accessible under the doorpost trim. You can cut the offending wire(s) there and splice in a replacement from that point to the door switch.
