Symptoms: Passenger window inop - neither up nor down from either the drivers and passenger side switches. Little lights on each switch are illuminated, however.

Looking at the wiring diagram for my '90 in the Bentley, it looks like if there is power to the switches, then the lights will be on when the ignition is on, and they are.

However, when either switch is activated the lights dim substantially. Would this dimming correspond to the motor being burned out?

(I know I can pull the upholstrey panel and test power to the actual motor and then see if its not responding, but right now I have my diff lock all over the garage floor, and I am just starting to think about the window as my next task)

Thanks

Tom F.
