Thread: power window gremlins

driver side door has full power and works all the windows, and all 3 pass doors as far as i know its just the window switches don't work. i haven't been back out to see if the locks work yet, all the window switches used to work well, till now i guess lol

update, the power lock switch works on the d/s door and the pass front door, the backs have no switch, but i can hear them working, and they do work.

scottydogs,
I've got the schematics from the Factory Service Manual but the pdf files are too large to attach to this post. If you PM me with your email address, I will send the schematics to you.

From your description and looking at the wiring diagram, I'd guess you have an open circuit in the 12V feed from driver's power window switch to the rest of the switches. All the switches are fed from the driver's door, through the lock-out switch.

I'd look for an open circuit on the dark blue feed from the driver's door switch (Pin D on the driver's door lock-out switch connector). Could be at the switch, in the harness or at the splice (under the driver's carpet). From what you're describing, I think the most likely culprit is the lock-out switch.

is this schematic for a 98 regal? if so please sent it to gmc03scott@aim.com

so basically your saying it could be the child lock switch not working properly?

if thats the problem thats not to bad, as i was planning to replace the whole cluster of switches on the d/s door due to to all of them being well used and looking like crap.

Diagrams sent to your email.
It could be the lock-out switch itself or a broken/open circuit in the 12V feed to the other switches.
