power window gremlins

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.

thanks, ill play with that later.

i did notice the lock out switch is sloppy loose but it still clicks when moved.

found the problem, its the lock out switch for the back window child locks, i took the cluster of switches off the d/s door and tuned it over and gave it the magical wrap with the handle of a screwdriver and hit the other switch and it worked. the lock out switch is so loose its almost falling apart.

so ill be just replacing the whole cluster of switches as planned some time ago, as they are all torn up and ugly.


edit: i just wedged a piece of cardboard next to the switch, and it seems to be doing the trick, so thats my fix till i find the new cluster of switches for the d/s door. thanks for the help guys.
