Possessed Power Windows are Wacky

#1

Power windows on my 1993 4Runner are going psycho.

Sometimes the master controller for windows and door locks on the
drive door panel works just fine, sometimes not at all. Sometime the
door locks click closed/open when just closing the door. Sometimes
the master controller works when getting into the car and quits
later... but the opposite is also true.

Easy enough to just get a new master controller... but is this likely
to be the problem... or are there other parts that could be
possessed.

Thx

I'd check the contacts on the driver's door switch first. They get
corroded and do weird things.

I dress them with a points file and then touch them up with solder.

My 'power' windows are run by amrstrong.... ;-)

Check the wire bundle of door controls where it bends between the door
and the front door post. Remove the rubber armor cover and check for
wire breaks where it has been bent opening and closing the door since
1993. Sometimes you have to look really close to find them and there are
quite a few wires. Take your time and look at each one individually. You
might want to try the controls with the door open and bend the wire
bundle by hand to try to reproduce the problems.

Excellent... will do.
