Hey, well since the site is so slow, I thought I'd post my recent
window revelation. Chris's recent stuff about his windows got me
motivated to mess with my barely driven Lago's window issues. I
parked it for 3-4 yrs while I got around to doing the timing
belt....anyway, after that, only the drivers window would work. I
assumed the worst(mouse eaten wires/some corroded ground somewhere
inconvienent)......Anyway, Superbowl Sunday, I had a rainfree window
early and decided to mess with it. Got voltage everywhere(rear
lighter/both switches/pass switch), then I decided to check the RR
window motor(had the switch out) by hooking up a spare battery to the
motor leads....got nothing. While I haven't done the same to the
other 3, I'm guessing 22 yo grease/lack of use has those all gummed
up. Since I don't really drive the car, it's been on the bottom of
the list of things to do, but plan on pulling that door apart when
I've got time, and see if some spray/lube/persuasion can get that
window to move......Tom
