Exclamation Important window problem

Recently I replaced my passenger side window motor on my 97 camaro and then I took it to my mechanic so he could fix the emergency brake, it sat for about three weeks there and my window stopped working when I got it back so I replaced the motor again but nothing happened so I'm wondering about the wiring or fuses or something to get my windows working.

My guess would be wiring fuses or the switch. All you can really do is grab the manual from the manual section and get a test light and see where you don't have power.

Seriously motors are the problem most of the time with our cars but wires in the door jam do break and switch's do fail. No one can tell you which it is.

if you dont have a volt/ohm meter it would be a good idea to buy one. shbox is a good source for info 4th Gen LT1 F-Body Tech Aids also look at number 15 here https://camaroforums.com/forum/93-02...rt-here-38462/

I went and bought the passenger window fix kit from auto trix and I made it to step 13 and I got confused about how to wire it because I don't understand the given instructions

I just don't see where it says to hook up all different wires and I don't want to do it wrong

on mine blue a ground black an red an brown positive ,yes the windows on these cars just plain stink ,just did my drivers to find it was the motor an before that is was working like new .put it down one day was it done,usally they give some sort of sign ,but if your getting power there then its the window motor ,while your there you may want to look into the 30.00 kit for giving the window extra power ,as they go slow after about a year any way ,it supposed to keep it moveing faster for passegers windows mostly ,they do not make it easy ,there is few times you can use a 3rd arm so I did mine with my friend I allways get the one with a new regulator white crease is what I used an plenty of it ,though its inside that matters ,I may get Auto trix passngers window fix it kit 93 -02 for both my cars as they both run slow an stick too,its one of those things that no one can tell you how with certain things ,you can get one AutoTrix.net 93-02 Camaro there is a link hear somewhere
