power window question I have a 95z with power windows and it is a very strange car. I thought my window motor was going bad so I bought a new one and replace. Same thing was happening where the window would go down, but not up. So, I replace the switch, and the window worked. Before I replaced the motor awhile back, the passenger side just stopped working. I replaced the switch, and it still doesn't work. Fuses are good, but when ever I try to put it up or down, it cuts the radio out????? Any suggestions guys? Also, I don't know if these motors go out instantly, or if they go out over time??
thanks

My drivers side is on it's last leg, it goes down real slow and I have to help it up most of the time. The reason the radio cuts out could be because the motor is dead shorted and is putting a major strain on the electricals of the car when you try to raise or lower it, I don't know the wiring system on these cars though.

Try hitting the motor while you are trying to make it go up, if it works but then stops its a bad motor. could also be a bad relay somewhere making it stop from going about half way. lemme know if this helped you out any.

Motors weaken over time. They get slower and slower, until they quit working. They do drain power during operation, which can be seen by lower bulb brightness or radio
acting funny. If it is cutting the radio out, maybe the speaker wires and power window wires are touching where they enter the door.
