[DeTomaso] window motor replacement suggestions

[Mike Drew]

Cliff,

Larry is right, sort of, but he wants you to work way too hard to troubleshoot the problem. 

Any time you actuate the windows with the key on but engine not running, the ammeter will deflect when you actuate the switch. 

So, if you hit the switch and the window doesn't move and the ammeter doesn't deflect, you have a switch or wiring problem. If you have the stock switches, they are junk and should be replaced with similar-looking quality Bosch switches. 

If the ammeter does deflect, you don't have an electrical problem, the issue is mechanical. If you have the stock plastic gear, likely it's broken.
