Thread: Power Window problem

Tweet

A lot of street rod applications use the universal kits from places like Specialty Power Windows - Specialty Power Windows which I believe is one of the better kits out there. If it was working fine but stopped without any other symptoms (like sporadic action of a switch, slow movement of a motor, start/stop stutter, etc) then the most common problem is a broken conductor at a hinge point, either pinched and cut or simply broken due to hundreds of tight flexes over time (may be inside the insulation, not evident). Switches do go bad, but it's more often after they're very old and have cycled a bunch. I'd check continuity of each wire in your harness if you can't see a break, to eliminate the simple things first. I found the circuits on power windows to be very confusing, thus the beauty of a wiring harness.
