I have checked the fuses and it is ok put wd40 in control switches removed the door panel but can't get at the window motor to check it out . Any body adversed in removing the moter ? I would be thankful for your help and it would get the wife off my back (its her window that will not go up or down

alright dont use wd40 use dielectric grease. You dont have to remove the motors to see if the work. You can hook them up to straight 12 volt. Just get some long wire and run it to the battery. Take the door panel off and you will be able to see where the wires from the motor run just touch the wires from the battery to those if it moves then the switch is your problem.

Let's start with spelling! It's "anybody", not "any body". Two different words and meanings entirely. Next, it's motor, not moter.

1) It could be old fuses. They might LOOK FINE, but they're not. Replace all fuses with the newer copper fuses. Old ones pit and can build up heat resistance, causing all kinds of electrical problems. You might spend all of $10 for all new fuses.

2) Not sure about W123 switches, but on W124's, you just change the switch. They're like, $3 or something. You can try cleaning them out, but probably not worth it. They get food crumbs and other stuff on them.

Reverse the wires and the motor should go the other direction. It's probably in the switches in the console. Hook passenger side to driver side switches. Next would be the wires (that's when it becomes a difficult job).

"Adversed" didn't get you attention?

Watch out what you type. There is a crack down on the grammar police. You might get a warning like I did. I've decided that if someone doesn't make an attempt at grammar, I will just ignore the post all together.
