Truck is an '89 Dodge Dakota. Both driver and passenger power windows stopped working, one died, then the other one slowed down and died a day or two later.
I disconnected the motors right at the motor. I tested the truck's incoming feed and it is +-12 Volts. I jumped the motor straight to the battery and it moves up and down; however, when I connect the motor back, it doesn't work and I check the feeds and no power when connected.
The truck uses a 30A circuit breaker in lieu of a fuse. I can't figure out if it is suppose to be a Type 1 Auto or Type 2 Modified, but I replaced it with a Type 1, and after some research, I'm thinking maybe it should be a Type 2, but the Type 1 should work better if anything. Still nothing.
Why would the 12-volts disappear when I hook up the motor? I took apart one of the motors and then asked myself, how can a motor blow out anyway?? Are these motors blown because they aren't powerful enough to run off the wiring harness (but not completely blow where a straight up battery jump would get it moving)?
