window problems!!

I just bought a 1988 1 ton crew cab and there are some issues that i need help with. The first thing is the power windows work slow or not at all and the other problem the power locks don't work. So I'm looking for tips and a wiring diagram Thanks

Re: window problems!!

I have had problems with non-power windows being difficult to operate.
After pulling the panel and slathering the channels with grease they are like butter.
I would imagine the same to be true for power - just don't realize how difficult it is because you aren't the one providing the muscle!

Re: window problems!!

sometimes the window motors burn out slow from years of improper lube in the tracks
