Troubleshooting

The driver's side rear window doesn't like rolling back up on The Beast.

A common problem is the wires breaking in the rubber pass-through accordion dealie on the door.

Today, I tested that.

All the wires from the plug in the car to the switch and the motor have excellent continuity.

Both the power wires have 12v at the body plug.

I'm guessing it's the motor or regulator, which are the same replace the entire assembly if one goes bad.

    I replace the drivers back door window regulator motor in the Silverado.
    Had to take off the inner panel to get to it and tape the window up.
    When I replaced the inner panel, I guess I didn't get something lined up and the inner wiper now jams the window so it only goes down less than three inches.

    It can stay like that because it was a PITA and it's a secondary truck now.

    Wiring can test good for continuity but not have the ability to pass enough current for the work. Cavalier went semi-dead, panel and radio would work but no start/crank. Fusible link was semi fused and looking wrinkly. Made an extra.

      We gave it a good wiggle waggle, so we're confident that there's no breaks in the wire.
