A couple weeks ago, some exploratory speaker work in the door panel inadvertently caused my power windows & locks to fail. Until this point, both had worked pretty well for the year I have owned my cruiser.
Not possessing much more than a small shred of electrical savvy, I sat down and read everything I could find on MUD. Results have varied...
Door Locks:
- Re-setting the circuit breaker under the dash has brought back the power locks... done
Windows:
- The master switch in the DD was looking pretty bad, so I replaced the switch guts with an aftermarket version & swapped the leads around in the pigtail to mimic the factory setup (had to b/c I have grey interior & the switch only came in brown). Also soldered a jumper wire for the window lock since mine was broken.
- Swapped the window relays themselves, as I couldn't hear any clicking when I pressed the switches
... no dice
Could someone who understands 60 series electrical please advise where to go next? I'm out of ideas & knowledge about how to chase this down.
The fuses in the dash appear fine, but are there other fuse locations to check under the hood? Could there be a ground loose or a common short location possibly preventing power to the window relay box?
Do I need to stand on my left foot and sacrifice a chicken to the cruiser gods to get this working
FWIW - Reading @slcfj62 's write up on the window & lock permanent fix has motivated me to put that on my list, but not until I can first get the windows working.
