My rear window is not working on my del sol and i cant figure out why!!! Give me a few common things that go wrong with this window. Thanks!! Could it be a fuse a motor or bad wiring?

You said it best, do your process of elimanation and you should be able to figure it out.

I have a fuse diagram but how is the rear window motor labeled on the diagram?

Stupid idea, but is the master switch enabled? The one by the switches on the driver's side?

Guilty as charged.

Im having a horrible time with this now. I thought I forgot my switch too, but that is in. Then I checked for power in the wiring that goes to the rear window motor. Check, that had power. Then, there was another piece of wiring that is in between the motor wiring and the car wiring, that was working too. So my next guess was that the rear window motor was shot. So, I bought a new one hooked it up and it did not work either. THinking I had just bought a bad motor i was mad. And did the only thing I could do is take both of the motors apart. They are run pretty cool. anyway, Twisting the magneto thing the long part or whatever the window track moved up and down. So everything moved properly and nothing was stuck. Next, I figured id look for power in the motor by hooking them up and testing. The original one had no power at all running throuhg the motor and the second one that i just bought had power running to both sides of the magneto, but the magneto itself wasnt spinning like it should to make the window go up and down. How can I make it spin, because it has power but it just wond spin?

Anything work if you bypass the switch?

haha i definitely got owned by this. my friend pushed it because he thought it was the lock/unlock button.

that would suck if its just a fuse, and you went through all that.

Well, I took the motor and window assembly to an auto electric place to see if the motor was bad. The motor and window worked perfect. Then got home tried it again, well something new happend and now on the instrument cluster it shows the rear window is down. Well that was correct, but the window does not move. So i have power going through everything the switch works and the motor works. So my last gues is a ground that is not touching somewhere, but where can I find it and do you guys really think that is a probably the problem?

titaniumB20

Ohh yeah and its not the master switch I learned all about that with my last del sol.

I would hook up a test wire to the motor itself with direct power bypassing all of the factory wiring, first both + and - then just + and then just - and see where the proplem is, if its just a bad ground hooking up a wire to the motor housing to a good ground ussually helps to determine that, but not all motors use the housing for there ground, but <U>most</U> automotive motors ive come acrose do....

Thanks Ill take a look at that.
