On my 94 del sol i was trying to wire up a map light on the passenger side door panel. I was trying to tap power from one of the 3 orange wires that plug into the window switch thats attached to the door panel. Anyways I could not get power from them even with a voltmeter I only see .14 volts and its not constant. So i put everything back the way it was and now none of my power windows work. But my power mirrors work just fine from the panel. I checked all the fuses and they seem fine too. Anyone know what else to check for? Thanks in advance!

 

bump need help

 

ttt someone has to of had the same problem.

 

bump

 

nite bump

 

morning ttt

 

ttt

 

Both my windows stopped working, turned out to be a short. Try taking off the panels and messing with the wires, use a test light and hunt it down. I have to take my whole door off lol

 

so the fuse blew?

 

Na the fuse never blew one of the wires had a short and had to be replaced

 

damn what a pain in the *** that must have been. I checked all the fuses and they look fine. Also I tested the relay on a friends car and it works so now I am thinking it has to be the master switch.

 

ttt no ones windows stopped working all together??

 

in for possible answer. i had one window stop working all of a sudden, but has power

 

hmm doesnt help. so what was it the switch?

 

check to make sure the switch AND motor are getting power if both are then check your reg cuz i had the same problem with the one window not working and the other does and i found out my reg was bent badly and i cant even push it up or down so i no the motor wont be able to do it.. hope that helps

 

from what i checked the wires to the switch are not getting any power. maybe im doing it wrong? any idea which specific wires to check?

 

bizump! i checked the plug that plugs into the master switch. only one wire going to it gets like .40 volts for some reason. at the fuse box under the dash all the window fuses are getting power. im stumped...

 

I can't recall. Did the 94 get a multiplex? Could explain your voltage readings.

By the way, did you learn your lesson?

 

yeah i hate electrical stuff. but i dont see what harm splicing into 4 wires could have done. except that now none of my windows work.

That sums it up. I recommend NOT probing for things without knowing what you are probing. You might end up spending a bunch of money that you shouldn't need to spend.

Looks like you need to take the car to a shop, preferably the dealer to have diagnosed.

 

fixed the problem. it was the backup light fuse. who would have thought to check that???
