First thing to tackle on the 83 GSL, passenger window INOP

P71 · 03-02-2008, 11:30 PM

Car: 83 RX-7 GSL
Problem: Passenger power window INOP. Does not go up or down, no sign/sound of the motor trying. Stuck in the full "up" position.

Any ideas of where to start? Could the switch be faulty? Separate fuses for the drivers/passengers windows?

My plan-of-attack is going to be pull the driver's switch (since I know it works), and connect it to the passenger harness and see what happens. I'm hoping it's the switch...

Well, that was easy. Popped the center console panel and swapped switches, voila! Passenger window works perfect!

K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Always try the easy stuff first, so now all I need is a switch and I'm golden
