Engine stops using power window

#1

Hi, Here's my problem: I have a 1987 Saab 900 coupe with power windows.
For some reason when I close the passenger side window the engine
stops, there is no dimming of lights or blowing a fuse the engine just
quits running as long as I'm pushing the button to close the window.
When the car is not running the window works fine, again there is no
dimming of lights, nor blowing a fuse. The driver's side works great.
Does anyone have an Idea what is causing this to happen?

Could well be an earthing problem. The door might share an earth with
the ECU - probably behind the passenger kick-panel.

Cheers,

I had a similar car in the UK and when braking hard all the doors

locked!! I read that wires chafe at the door hinge and produce these
funny effects.
