Re: drivers side front window
When you try to lower the window does it act like the window is trying to go up at the same time? This means the window is getting electricity to close it all the time. It's not drawing current because the window is all the way up and the limit switch breaks the circuit. When you try to lower it, the motor windings for up and down are fighting each other. Is your battery being drained also?
If you have these symptoms, it sounds like you have a short. I had the same thing and could not find the problem on my 92 100 CS. The short is somewhere in the circuit that makes all the windows close when you turn the key all the way to lock and hold it.
My solution was to pull A-1, which is sort of a circuit breaker. It is under the hood, up by the window in the plastic box on the driver's side. I pulled it out two years ago. The only thing that doesn't work now is the feature where you close everything with the key.
Let me know if this fixes your immediate problem and if you ever find the short. I never found mine.
