Greetings. Requesting Diagnosis help....
I just recently procured a 1990 Dodge Shadow from a fella for my A->B (and hopefully back
) car. Although the car appears operational, there are a couple of things I noticed wrong. I checked Haynes Manual and Bulletin board, but am having difficulties since I don't have the experience to relate to other models' electrical patterns.
1. The heater/ac fan accessory has no power (I'll work this later,).
2. The power windows has no power. (This is what I'd like to address, I believe this is related to #1.).
Dumb Checks
- Power window motors connected directly to battery: OK.
- Switches connected to battery: OK.
- Power delivered straight to fuse panel: OK.
Diagnosis attempts:
- Fuse panel connects to 10-pin (5 pairs of 2) grey connector behind battery.
- Traced correct wires from fuse panel. wires are pair in middle which has no power. (second pair traced from heater accessory)
- Traced opposite connector wires to alternator and power steering unit on front axle.
Issues:
- Alternator checked In accordance with Haynes Manual: OK.
- Power steering: OK (wheels turn with minimal force at stop).
Tools on hand: Power light testor, Cable "Cat and Mouse", and Volt/Ohmmeter.
This is where my experience and the Haynes manual ends. If there is anyone with any good ideas, It would be greatly appreciated.
