[s-cars] Need Help w Stuck Window - S6

[Douglas Fifield]

Jerry,

I pulled the bellows and checked the wiring and did not find any
breaks.  I also pulled the door panel and rechecked the pluging
connections that mount to the carrier assembly. No luck.

I printed out the wiring diagram for the power windows from the
Bentley, but I'll be damned if I can make sense of them.

It is like the "up" connection is not being made when the switch is pressed.

So Miss Piggy is dead in the water until I can figure this one out.
Can't go anywhere with a window stuck down.

Any other suggestions out there?
