Power Windows Not Working
I have a 1990 100. I just picked it up as an extra car for next few months. The roof and Power windows are not working. I see from the manual that it does not operate on a fuse but on a circuit breaker.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Door hinge wiring boot...
Pull back the boot in the drivers door hinge. The wiring in there is probably a mess. Yes, it will stop all the windows and the sunroof.
Some of those wires are always hot, be careful. In order to fix this permanently you need to run new wiring from inside the door to inside the kick panel.

We have BINGO!
Another way to tell is when its dark, does just the drivers' window switch illuminate?
If yes, then its your thick wire in the accordiaon boot of the door hinge area, broken.
a smaller wire carries juice to the back windows and passenger side too.
The wires ARE THE GROUNDS...............
Daisy chain.........like cheap X-mas lites on a tree., one out they all are out. (so to speak)
