Wife's car. A/C quit long ago. Summer is here.
And the power windows stopped working.
She believes working windows are important.
Check the fuses, relay and breakers. Not easy in itself.
Next is the master switch.
Seemed like a good idea to disassemble it. It was NOT a good idea.
I did manage to get it back together.
Next is the dreaded wiring harness.
About now is when the car officially looked like a junk yard exploded.
Never counted how many wires were in that rubber boot between the car and the door.
Guessing at least 26.
I did count both, as in 2, of the wires which were not broken or with broken insulation.
Hard enough to change a fuse down there.
Imagine soldering.
Many solder joints, heat shrink pieces, and blisters later, the windows work!
And the power locks, remote mirrors, power locks, power lock stuff in the key hole, and speaker all work.
Too late to reassemble the car last night.
This morning I can't find the keys. Must have left them in the car?
And in the ignition. Turned on.
Car is reassembled. Battery charger is charging (grid). Keys are safely in my pocket.
How many wires does it take to make that stuff work???
Evidently this many, plus a few smaller wires that dive out the back.
