my question is what did he actually do with the soldering. Did he just place some solder over the end in the picture or what.

Have you tested the window motor. Apply 12v to the terminals and confirm it will move up and down first. The brushes in the motors are not replaceable. I am using Patrol motors in mine.

Basically you are refreshing a "dry" joint. The solder on the board is no longer connecting the wire to the board. You will need flux to help the solder to flow.

I do have a solder gun to work with. Might do this tomorrow morning.

Yea they said another test is to see the passenger side window still works. Which it does.

Actually this only tells you there is 12v available in the system. It doesnt mean the motor physically works buddy.

Oddly enough after leaving the in laws to go home the damn window rolled up. I’m still gonna re solder whatever is giving it the fits.

Test the actual motor, that's what mine was doing before the thing gave up completely. Try the simple things first!

How’d you set yours up to test ?

Mine was doing the same thing. I put a second hand power window relay in it and works perfect since. I opened up the old relay and cant find any dry joints/issues.

Mine had bullet type connectors which were not original, so i plugged male connectors on with short length of wire attached and used jumper leads from the battery. If your battery is in boot use someone elses car battery. You could also use a battery out of a 12v power tool.

Mines still under the bonnet for now

How did you go buddy

[SeanR32GtSt]

I’m gonna tackle it today after I get done stripping the stain off my front porch. I’ve used the car couple times since and of course the windows worked fine but it still needs addressing in case I use it to drive into downtown and can’t roll it up when I park it.

Wise to fix it, when mine was working occasionally, It was broken into, the dog who got in stole the small change(master criminal) and smashed the ignition lock, destroyed surround, etc. I have the number of the car he arrived in, didn't call cops, just tracking him down and will deal with him old west frontier style.
