[V8] Subject: Re: Window operation troubleshooting

[NIck Miller]

Ok, a quick update.  I got the rear Passenger side door out today, and took
apart the regulator so I could pull the motor out separately.  Took it into
"The Lab"  and opened it up.  Everything was rusted/seized up pretty bad.
So I pulled it all apart, PB blaster, naval jelly, and a disc sander, and a
few other things and got it clean as a whistle, put it back together and
hooked it up to the car battery and it sung like it was new.  Great.

Got it back together with the regulator, ran the window up and down and it
worked great.  So, I then got the door back together, which took a little
while, and guess what!  Doesn't work.

So, the light to either rear window switch doesn't come on at all, so I'm
guessing there is no power to the rear windows, which is maybe why the
motors seized, from not ever being used.   The front switches all light up,
as does the passenger side front.

Any thoughts here guys?  I'm going to apply power to the motor tomorrow
again and verify it does still work now, and check a few other things, but
other than Fuses, any ideas?
