Re: 4kq rear windows wont work/ switch is fine

[Todd Phenneger <phen9461@uidaho.edu>]

Thatns but I know the motor is fine.  As I noted in my message, I'm not
getting power to the motor.  And the swithces seem fine in front but somne
have noted that if the rear switches are bad th;en the fronts wont work. 
	Thanks though
