Reply to "Power Window Problems"

markcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera

You're right about that Mike, assuming you're referring to the Bosch ones.

After I changed my window motor I tested my switch. Even though I had replaced them only a few years ago, it turned out that the drivers-side one was shot. It must have all of 100 actuations on it.

My car got about 35 years out of the originals and maybe 3 years out of the Bosch ones. I'm pretty disappointed. With all the crap people give Pantera electrics it turns out the fancy German stuff is real garbage by comparison. I guess they are meant to work only with relays for the load.

So, if any of you have Bosch switches and your windows are slow (or won't go all the way up), don't assume it's not the switch. Check that first.
