Power windows 88 GL wagon arent working

[AK aaron]

ive changed the switch in the door and the relay. should i get all new wires? i dont know what else to do. thinking i just might try to find some doors with manual windows. or maybe just a manual regulator and track for the inside? and help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Id check the wiring splice under the passenger carpet if you havent yet. door jamb wires are possible too, but harder to check

Can you be more specific as to the location of the wires on the passenger side.

We also are trying to track down faulty window wiring

Thanks

Have you cleaned the switches? The contacts get coated with crud after time. Main controller is under the carpet under front seat. Both the switches on the door and main switch need to work for window to operate

Btw, do the motors in the doors work? Unplug them and connect the battery directly to check

passenger front floorboards: all power and ground for windows splice off one (two actually, one power/one ground) 10 ga wire under the carpet. they are not sealed from the elements, just wrapped in tape... and soggy boots in the winter tend to soak it in salty water.
