Here's he deal. Rear windows go down, fronts won't go down. Swapped motors front to back, same thing. So, motors work. Tore the master switch apart, cleaned and replacement ed swithes with scrap yard part, still nothing and now left rear only goes down. Haven't tested volatages b/c I left meter a parent's house. Checked wire diagram in book to see routing and fuse locations. Just a breaker.

 

Any ideas???

Possible wiring problems? It is not unlike wiring to go bad. Also you could try a jumper wire in place of the switch where it would connect to roll the window back up. Who is to say the junkyard part is not bad? Just really mind the diagram to make sure you are "jumping" the correct points in the switch plug.

 

If you have ever owned a Ford with window problems like this, you know the wires tend to go bad for some odd reason. Yes I know that is Ford and we are GM but if the switches are good and the motors are good, what is really left?

Wiring in the hinge area of the driver's door is the usual culprit. Driver's door is the most-used; wiring work-hardens from flexing, then breaks.

 

No point to splicing the wire in the hinge area, it'll break again shortly. Gotta run new wire in the hinge, spliced on either side. That way, the hinge area has nice, flexible wire and the splices are in places where the wire isn't stressed by movement.
