Windows work only when raining

[aminkel]

I have a few problems with my 97 GRP SE 3.8. The windows work fine when it is raining. When it is nice out I have to open my door and find the sweet spot and they will roll down. The sweet spot is ever in the same place twice.
The air conditioner doesn't work. I am working on that but until then I would like to fix my windows.
I am assuming that it is a short in the wiring harness in the door. Does anyone have any ideas on where I should start to fix this??

I would take a multimeter and see if you are getting power to the switch. That should help pinpoint if the issue (sounds like a loose or cut wire to me) is before or after the switch.

are you talking about just the drives door? do the windows work on the other door/doors by using its own switch?

sounds like a bad wire or loose connection in the door or a bad switch.

None of the windows will work. I have only been able to open any of them with the drivers door open when it is not raining. I will have to open the door and keep trying it in different positions until they work.

but do the buttons on THOSE DOORS work for THOSE WINDOWS?

 

[aminkel]

If it is raining out they all work. If not they don't work, then I have to have the drivers side door open in a certain position for them to work also.

 

[Bio248]

so you have to move your drivers side door around to open the passenger side window even if you use the passenger side door buttons?

 

[aminkel]

Yes, it depends on my drivers side door position if they open or not. It does not matter which controls you use. Nothing works unless it is raining or I have the drivers side door open and only in a certain position.

If I try to move those doors to make those controls work they won't. It depends on my drivers side door.
I imagine it is in the wiring harness in the drivers side door?
