Hey everyone, I finally got my stang! I am very happy with it. If anyone wants pictures, let me know. I can say everything is kosher, with the exception of a few minor things.

The old tape player has to go. The speakers need replacing. I'll probably need a new center console, and a drivers side door panel (where the grip is on the inside). The main thing is the actuator for the power windows doesn't work. I've tried switching the modules around, and they all work. I don't know if it's the wiring. Could it possibly be a fuse? If not, then maybe the wiring is incorrect. Could I find the wiring in a Chilton or Haynes manual?

Other than the above, the car is very clean.

It is a 1990 LX hatchback.

most times, in these cars, its either the switch or the motor. if the switch tests good, it's the motor. if the switch tests bad (you can test it with a VOM), replace it.

whats the switch test, when i roll my passenger window all the way down it gets stuck, and i have to take my door panel off take the motor off the gear and put it back on and it fixes it, the windows go up really slow, and the passenger only goes back up when i leave it up like 3 inches from the bottom, is it the motors?
