Window Problem - '90 200

[Larry C Leung]

My car has the same problem, though it is still quite intermittant. I'd
be willing to bank on the loom on either the passenger door, OR the
driver's door, considering ALL of the window switch wiring goes through
the driver's door. I'm going to have to open up that loom (or at least
test the switches) sometime, probably next summer, as I'm down to the
front windows now....
