Ok guys. Ive got my Maro up and running, but now that the weather is heating up, and my AC is broken, (ill worry about that later) i need my windows to work.
Again, for those of you who dont know, my car was sitting in the same place for 3 years without moving and was never touched.
I tested the automatic switches in the center console and they are giving power, so is the connector to the motor inside the door panel itself. (BTW, im talking about BOTH doors. Neither of them work.)
My guess is that its just been sitting so long that its either rusted or just stuck in place.
Could anyone help me and maybe explain what i mightve overlooked?
Thx guys.

If the motors are getting power but are not working either the motors are bad and need to be replaced or the arms that assist the motor in raising and lowering the window are stuck and need some serious lubrication.

I've had the problem on non-Camaro where the window switchs get corroded or for some reason contact is cut. Taking the switches apart and using spray electrical contact cleaner worked in my cases. Testing the wires showed power was there but inside the up/down switch it was failing.

Hmmmm...
Well, popular opinion is telling me that i should tear open the motor and fix the inside, and if that doesnt work, just buy a new one. So im gonna try your idea Twitch and see what comes up, if it doesnt work, no biggie. Motors arent that expensive.
Thx.
