| Question: |
I just bought a 1992 Mits. Diamante with 3l V auto trans. The light in the window lock out button on the driver door control panel stays on. I suspect that the window lock is stuck on enabled. Is there a way to disable it? My next approach is to ge a replacement drivers side control panel
with one from a salvage yard. The car runs and drives great, but I really need the windows to work. What do you think is the problem? Thanks, Mike |
| Answer: | Mike, If you have a voltmeter, you can test the window lock circuit on the drivers side and look for a connector on the circuit board to disconnect and disable the window lock. But your approach to replace the drivers side switch assembly is probably
the right one. Finding a used one is a good idea since a new one from
the dealership can cost between $350-$440. If you cannot find one at the
salvage yards, you can also check eBay. Many people part out their old
cars and there's a good chance you'll find a switch. |
