Hi all, first post. I wasnt sure exactly what to search for so im posting here
When I got my 88 HJ61 all power windows except the passenger window worked fine. seller claimed it worked when he took the 'glamor shots' (same with the sunroof but thats probably another story)
He claimed the master set of window switches tend to corrode causing none of the door switches to work as well, so I took my door panel off and checked. Everything looked fine but I cleaned all the contacts anyways. also tested continuity of all switches. I did notice however the rear windows rolled up slowly halfway, then rolled up as normal, which I thought was odd but since im not familiar with the vehicle didnt consider it.
I noticed once, in cold snowy weather the passenger window worked again miraculously, albeit slowly. then never again.
Nowadays after driving for a bit my rear passenger window no longer works as well, and my driver side rear worked the same slow/fast it did before.
driver window auto and non auto works as to be expected.
Took the door panel off and found the front passenger plastic surround melted... thought it was a short, re seated everything, tested continuity out and tried again but this time watched the circuit board. same passenger windows didnt work at all and i noticed sparking coming from the driver rear switch as I rolled it up.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I thought the switches were the main cause of power window issues in these.
Thanks for the help and Im sorry if there is already a thread regarding this or a similar issue
