Windows and Sun Roof not working

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

George:
The clue is the windows (ALL) AND the sunroof.
The thickest wire IS broken inside and maybe not all the way through the 
insulation yet.
Mine IS doing this now.  (SNAPPED) 
It WAS doing it when the door was open and would only work when it was closed 
or close to it.

Time to splice the Thickest door jamb wire (its a negative) I learned that 
from Chris Miller this past week.

I have photo of it completely broken in my 1991 200 20V.
