[V8] At least it's not raining...yet

[Scott Simmons]

I've had some trouble with my power windows (all but driver) since I got 
the car in November.  Through the winter months, my remedy for these 
problems has been to not use those windows.  It's worked.

Today, I had to take a coworker home.  He gets in the car and what's the 
first thing he does?

*sigh*

The passenger window has always gone done.  It very rarely ever goes 
back up.

The facts:
On driver's console, the LF button and RR button are always lit up.  LF 
window always works, RR window works 9/10 times.  I have no response 
(light or function) from LR window and occasionally the RF window will 
flicker or light up, but will go out if I hit another button on the console.

The button on the passenger's door lights up.  Window goes down at its 
command.  Window does not return back up.  If I hit up on the console 
button, the RF button light goes out (returning when I let go of console 
RF button).  When I push down on that button, the lights dim and the car 
stumbles--it's got a circuit on the down function (this is with window 
already all the way down) but I get no electrical response from pushing 
up on it.

The wires between the doors are suspect.  The driver's side has a 
patched, large brown (ground?) wire that seems stable enough.  The 
passenger's side has a red/white wire that is incredibly suspect.  It 
was crimp connected at one end and had a twist cap at the other.  I tore 
that POS fix out of there tonight and rigged a make-shift one.

I can't seem to figure out the wiring diagrams.  Where is this magical 
"window and sunroof control module?"  I don't think I have power at the 
red/white wire.  I can't find a good ground for my test light (door 
hinges are painted, seat frame??), so I can't be 100% sure. 

I need to get this window up.  What are my options?  Can I hotwire it up 
by giving a specific wire or terminal power?  For instance, the 
passenger's button or a wire in the door frame?

Thanks,
