Windows won't roll
So I read somewhere that jag electrics when not used stop working, I'm having that issue. The car has been laid up in the garage for a few months so I haven't moved the windows. Now, they won't move at all. Not up, not down. Just a click from under the dash from the thermal relay.
Anyone had this issue? Any recommendations where to start?

Is there voltage at the master switch? If not, they ain't gonna work.
1. Jump the switch. It can get corroded inside. Not hard to remove, take apart, clean and reassemble.
2. Jump 12 v to the master? Work back to the source of power. More than likely a white power wire. White is powered only with ignition on.
3. Wild shot; Is the ignition on, when you try a window? Must be to work.

I don't have a master switch in mine. And no, no owners manual. I'm going to need a new window motor for the front drivers side...may or may not have made a rookie mistake and broke it. Easily sorced though. On the upside, after cleaning the control switches, I have back lighting to my gauges. Still have many connections to clean and grease so will see if that helps.
