The passenger side pw on my 85 was stuck in the up position all summer. I finally pulled the door card and found that it had the cable/pulley pw set up rather than the central post style I expected in an 85. I gave away the emergency winder I had in a box of random parts figuring I had no need for it. The door cards in my 85 do not have the plug for using it. I should have looked inside first. Oh well, live and learn.
I ordered another winder for about $50 and it arrived today. In my testing I had discovered the motor seemed alive and well. It tried to move both up and down. The plastic travel limiter was in pieces in the bottom of the door, so my hope was that I had run the window up so far that the motor just couldn't muster the torque to get the window started down. I plugged in the winder and moved the window down an inch or so. Not the pw motor is happy again and the window goes up and down. Time for a new limiter I think.
