Re: 84 4kq windows intermittent - fixed!
Why replace it again with a THermal Breaker. And what is a THermal
Breaker. My 4kq intermitantly get the same problem and the switch is
fine. Seems like the problem is inside the door in the wiring because
if I wiggle the wires it works again. has worked fine all summer
though, thank god. I suspected a loose conection but could not find it.
Thanks
