Another reason for EA82 Power windows to be failing

[moosens]

OK,you've just gotten a set off absolutely known to be working switches and relay.You go to install them,still no power windows on your EA82 car.

 

Well,if you're like me and have a car that once pee peed it's coolant all over the passenger side front floor from a rupture in the ***heater core*** then you might want to lift the carpet and check for shorted/coroded wires.

 

I knew I'd find the problem in the wires but it took getting Wagon78 involved to make me lift that carpet today and finally get my power windows going.Today,like much of the last two weeks here,was something like 99 degrees and probably near 95% humidity.The A/C was NOT working either,but I fixed that with a good tensioner pulley from Subafreak.

 

Hats off to both those guys.Freak is a good quick mechanic with a great work ethic.Turn around and he's gotten three more things done.'78 is the guy for diagnostics on the electrical side.I knew once I presented my problem to him I'd have that problem solved in no time.

 

GOING HOME IN AN AIR CONDITIONED CAR FOR WAS SOOOOOOOOOO FREAKIN' AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used the power windows to hold my head out and scream at the yuppies heading back from the Cape,so my repairs were all timely,indeed.

Good info about the wires, but...

 

How did an A/C condenser "rupture" spill coolant? Are we talking about the condensate drain hose plugging or coming loose? Inquiring minds want to know...

I think he meant the heater core?

Yup,sorry about that......HEATER CORE.

 

The A/C would have been another malady.

 

 

I got all excited because I also fixed the A/C yesterday.Dang near peed the passenger side floor .........again.
