Mystery Problems

[LookAtThatSHO]

Not sure but I think the cold weather's really getting to the SHO. Well I hope it is atleast. Here's what's happened all in a 24 hour period... For some reason, the door ajar light is on, but I've made sure each door is shut completely. The fuel door will not latch and shut any more, it seems the metal piece on the fuel door itself does not go in far enough to latch all-of-a-sudden. :cry: And lastly, my rear windows will not go down, neither from both the driver's buttons or each of the rear door buttons? And yes, I checked, the windows are not 'locked'. Suggestions greatly appreciated guys!

Heh, talk about the domino effect, LOL. First, get some wd-40, silcone spray, or even some 5 in 1 oil. Spray the latches on all 4 doors, there is a sensor for each door right next to the latch, contacts are more than likely dirty. 2nd, I don't know what to tell you about the filler door, I don't know, try bending the metal thingy and see if that helps any, LOL. And 3rd, on my '90 neither back window nor the driver's window work. First, have you checked the breaker/fuse? Can you hear the motor? If you can hear it but they will not budge, your motors are dead. If you can't, you most likely have bad and/or dirty switch(es). I hope this helps you out. Good luck!!

yes the motors get really corroded after time, it has most likely seized.
