-----Original Message----- From: John Koloen [SMTP:jkoloenNOSPAM@EARTHLINK.NET] Sent: Friday, May 21, 1999 12:55 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Power window smoking The driver side door of my '87 Westy has started emitting smoke. I removed the door panel, etc. and found that when the ignition is on smoke appears from the window regulator. It even sparks when I try press the switch to roll the window up or down. It seems to me something is shorting<<<SNIP>>> Yeah, I'll say! Remove the fuse for the power windows before you burn up more than your door. Then check the motor/switch and regulator.. Good luck,
