Window trouble.

[MKPNG]

I posted awhile ago about my windows being possessed. I took the control switch out, and sure enough it was burned up. So I ordered a new one from Amazon, which arrived today. I plugged it in, and sure enough, nothing worked. No attempt at working. Nothing at all!
I checked the fuses, and they all seemed to be fine. Nothing looked blown. Is there a fuse hidden somewhere that I am missing? My wife is driving my 80 full time now, and I would really like to get the windows fixed for her.

MKPNG, are you sure the window lift motor is good. You could try taking the interior door panel off to access the lift motor connector and jump it with a 12v source to see if the window goes up and down smoothly. If it does, the problem is upstream somewhere.

NOTE: The window runs can bind the window and it'll get stuck and won't go up or down (even with a good motor and switch), and the regulator itself has points that need to be greased, which can slow the action down if needing attention.

The doors won't even lock/unlock... Nothing works... I have checked the window runs, but I haven't checked the actual motor to see if it is good. None of the windows work, nor do the doors lock...

Check for continuity at the plug that connect to the master switch. Also, test the switches on the other doors to see if they are functioning. If you don't have power at the master switch then you probably have a fuse blown. They don't always look blown. Test the fuses directly with a multimeter.

CHECK FOR BROKEN WIRES IN THE DOOR JAMB ID BET YOU WILL FIND YOUR PROBLEM

Check the top right hand plunger style button on the control panel. It can lock all windows and doors. BTDT!!
