90 GT having window problems....
HI all,
I am having trouble with my power window (passenger side) on my 90 GT. I have just reaplced the window motor after it stopped working a while ago. I replaced the motor with a remanufactured one from Napa. The window was working fine for a while and then just stopped working again (luckily in the UP position). I am not sure where to start, hoping that it is not an electrical problem, but not sure what to check first. Anyone have similar problems??? I have been told that it may just be a bad switch but I am not sure. Thanks in advance for the help guys, I love this place!!! Sean 1990 Mustang GT with 77,000 ORIGINAL MILES with BRAND NEW bulletproof tranny with about 200 miles!!! |

My window has cut out on me, from time to time. There must be a short in there somewhere. When the window fails, pressing the "down" button draws the battery way down, and nothing happens. But the circuit breaker resets after a time, and the window works again just fine. This has happened over the past few years, but never for such an extended period that I've looked into having it repaired. I know why you're hoping it's not electrical, but your car is 17 years old. Wiring fails over time. And congrats on the new trans. dwight twin '93s |

Sean
Time to pull the door panel and do some testing with a multi meter. That way you can see if there is power getting to the switch, and if it is then is irt getting to the motor. I have the '89 Ford wiring manual. I think the color codes are the same if you need them.

You sure there isn't a hidden "1" to the left of that? Poor, sad little neglected pony... dwight TFrog 200,800 miles CFrog 110,000 (garage queen) |

Brakes was the very first upgrade I'd ever made. On any car. The stock setup was a disaster waiting to happen. I've thought about replacing my 2.97s, but I decided that I like idling at 75mph on the highway. 1st gear to 40, 2nd to 65, 3rd to 90... I kinda like that range. But I'll be curious to hear what you think of the 3.73s when you get them in. dwight > > > dwight wrote: >> " > wrote in message >> ups.com... >> > Thanks Dwight, I always enjoy reading your posts about your cars, I >> > hope to have my car forever so you are definately an inspiration to me! >> > And thanks for the congrats, I gotta take the car back in today to >> > have it re-checked after the new tranny but I really love it.

The switches are fairly cheap. I've repaired more of these model fords windows with new switches then with new motors. Actually, I've never had a bad motor, only bad switches and motors where the plastic gear disintegrated. |

I actually have 2.83's (i think) in there now that the previous owner
had put in when he rebuilt the original tranny. So I know what its like to idle at 75 mph on the highway! I am just sick of little rice burners being able to take off faster than me, i live in phoenix, az so i don't spend too much time on the freeway and people are always trying to race you around here it seems like ( i know be careful and all that) I liked the gears at first but I just kind of want to see what the 3.73's are like. We'll see... upgrading the brakes to rear disc and bigger front calipers and new rotors and all new hardware...hopefully now when some idiot cuts me off on the freeway going 90 i won't have to hit the brakes so damn hard!
