2001 Cobra Vert.
My rear passenger window will not activate unless I have the driver's door wide open. I probably have a broken wire in the harness between the window switch (on the driver's door) and the other end of the harness (wherever it goes). I can move the harness in the door jam to activate or deactivate the power to the rear passenger window so it kind of pinpoints where the problem is. Since this Mustang is a convertible I don't have rear window switches, so I need to rely on the "Master" switch on the driver's door. I checked the "Master" switch to make sure that all of the wires were fully inserted and stable.
I'm fairly sure that the problem is in the harness between the door and the body but I'm not totally certain. To get to the harness should I remove all of the door trim, kick panel and/or ...? I really don't want to split the rubber shield that is in the door jam to only find out that the broken wire is not at that location. And if I do cut the rubber shield what should I use as a replacement?
What is the best way to tackle this problem? I would like to put the top down sometimes during the good weather but I don't know if I can ever get the rear window up again. What a stupid problem to have and the FSM was of no help.
TIA - Mark
