In my 84 i have power w/l and the passenger side neither one work?? anyone else ahve this problem?
Are you saying power windows?
i think he is saying he has both and neither work.
did you check the obvious first?(fuses, relays)
did you do a search on here yet?
The only thing common to both the window and lock is their wires go through the hinge side of the door
They are probably seperate problems.
Can you hear the window motor run?
Yeah the motor will run and nothing happens.... i've had a vandal get in my car and steal my head unit because it doesn't lock.... not sure about the relays but i did check the fuses
if the motor is running and it is not going up or down, it is probably the window track. try to push down the windows with your hands. if they go down then it is the track for sure. i had this on my old 84 thunderbird. the pass side window could be opened by pushing it down with your hands
yeah but why would the lock on the passenger side only not work??? the drivers side works fine!?
when they broke in, they probably used a slim jim to get in,not knowing the lock was broken and probably broke somehting inside wiht the lock. there is a possibility they are not directly related
There isn't one fix for both problems. They are seperate problems.
1. the window problem is not electrical. you hear the motor running.
If the window glass has not come loose from the operating hardware as discribed above, then the gear assembly on the window motor needs rebuilding.
2.Either the lock actuator motor is bad or it has disconnected from lock mechanism.
gears in motor
have had it happen to me
door lock actuator is prob bad
so first i'll check the track then motor for the window, then check the hardware insie for the locking mech...... i just figured out that my key will not work so not sure about that?
door lock acuator
mine went bad, and i couldnt turn the key in the lock cause it was locked solid
replaced it greased the rods
and it works great!
sweet! any hints where I could find some??
If you can hear your window motor, then most likely the graphic bumpers in the plastic gears are shot. Best source I know of is "CarQuest" if you have one in your area. Carry the gears and bumpers for about $25.00 each.
Re: The door lock, the relay is under the passenger seat. There are two relays, one for left side and one for right. First put your ear to the door and see if you can hear the solenoid activate. If you can, not the relay but a bad solenoid. Requires a new unit -- about $100 each.
One for lock and one for unlock.
softtouch -- thanks for errata correction David
lol alrighty any tips on where to find the relays?
If one door locks and unlocks the relays are working. They are under the passenger seat.
The key not working is indicating your lock actuator rod is stuck. I have revived my old ones many times but eventually your fighting an already lost battle.
I do not like the door locks anyway, if they were real solenoids, then we probably would not be having this conversation.,, including your key not working right.
o so pretty much the rods are screwed therrefore the door wont work therefore im screwed?
