Window Problems in 89 200

[scott.john.mockry@bangate1.TEK.COM]

As far as your window problem is concerned. After verifying that  the related fuses are OK you should 
check connections at the switch and you might want to check the wiring that goes  into the drivers door 
and check the same on the passenger door for any breaks etc.  The window switche contacts also get 
dirty and the switch can be disassembled and cleaned if you are patient. (It might help to be a practicing 
neuro-surgeon)

I have seen the window regulator cable system self destruct before on my older 5000CST that uses the 
same design. Usually the plastic cable guide going into the motor snaps and then the cable loses tension 
and then falls off the pully. The window makes a crunching sound when it is raised or lowered "for 
awhile" until the cable shreds itself and gets tangled up around the take up pully in the  regulator motor.

The door panel in the 89 200 can be removed without too much pain. There are some recessed allen bolts 
underneath the arm rest. Loosen these allen bolts and then the whole arm rest will pull off (with a little 
encouragement). There are two phillip screws at the top of the door panel and  another one under the arm 
rest after it comes off. The sides and bottom of the door panel have plastic clips that will pop loose with 
careful application of a thin flat bladed screwdriver between the door panel and the door. It helps to 
remove the lock button (Unscrew with a little force) as  well.  Once the bottome/side clips are popped 
out the door panel can be raised up slightly and off it comes. 

I am also waiting for a manual for my 89 200 so I can not give you any wiring details yet. Good Luck

Hello fellas ( ladies if you are here)



A couple weeks ago I posted a query about a '89 200

I was contemplating on buying in the Seattle area. Well, yes I did

 buy the car at $11.8 K. Have enjoyed it for two weeks when the 

this afternoon my front passenger side window went down

but refused to go back up.
