jake91 Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 i have a cutlass convertible and the rear windows wont roll down whenever i hit the all down button up front you hear a clicking sound from the dash and nothing happens with any window but when you hit the rear switchs nothing happens not even the click but the front switches roll down the front windows just fine does anyone know what could be wrong with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Do they work from the individual switches? If not, the motors go bad pretty often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscsc Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Can you open the rear windows with the master switch just not the rear buttons themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 no individual switches dont work and no i cant roll them down at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscsc Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 no individual switches dont work and no i cant roll them down at all Change the motors then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I have a pair that worked when I removed them...I don't know what box they are in though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 i figured it was the motors but i questioned it because when i hit the all down button not even the front windows roll down so i wondered if it was in the switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 i figured it was the motors but i questioned it because when i hit the all down button not even the front windows roll down so i wondered if it was in the switch Well...Maybe it's the all down module...I see the top works though...

oldscsc Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Well a new master switch would certainly be cheaper than two new motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Well a new master switch would certainly be cheaper than two new motors. Not sure about that... However, it doesn't have to be from a convertible...The switch itself can come from a sedan. Just would have to change out the buttons and trim.

jake91 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 well do you know how i could find out which is bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 So your front windows work, just not the auto down? Well, I'd see if your getting current through the master switch to the rear windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 yes and since i dont know much about this stuff how would i check the current Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscsc Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 yes and since i dont know much about this stuff how would i check the current Volt meter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicMechanic Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Or even a simple test light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscsc Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Or even a simple test light. True...I would rather use a volt meter as you would get more specific results but by all means, if you've got a test light have at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake91 Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 where would i check the voltage at exactly would it be at the window motor itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleeingpepper Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I read on another thread sometimes the motors can just lock up. Whack in the area that the motor is in. That may onlock it, but you're probably only buying yourself time if that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
