If the sale falls through and you do decide to part it out then I’d be interested in the steering wheel assembly and some other interior parts.

Very true, especially since it’s a convertible where all the windows would be rolled down at the same time. I guess that wasn’t something that I put much thought into at the time. The problem ended up being the positive wire that runs from the driver’s switch to the post behind the kick panel...

Thank you for the insight. I went out and bought some silicone spray lubricant based on Dave's advice earlier in the thread and I have white lithium grease so I can give that a shot. I'll see how they move with just some lubricant before I commit to getting the panel off and grease everything...

Thank you for the tip, I'll be sure to try it while the engine is running next time. I didn't really take ohm's law into account while I was fiddling around but I guess I really should have checked the amps on the window circuit and measured the resistance of the motors. Well, now I have...

For today's update, I have some discoveries that have given me more questions. First thing I did was get into the engine bay and check the ground connections. I hooked my multimeter up to the battery and it read 12.32v, the ground wire from the battery to the engine was 12.31v, the alternator...

I have no doubt that they could do with a good cleaning and greasing or even a rebuild, but is it really that likely that all four motors would develop this problem at the same time? I find it hard to believe that all the windows would have the same problem at the same time but that it would be...

I'll look into the grounding, some of the wiring does look a bit aged in the engine bay (not so much in under the dash) so it can't hurt to check it out. As for the window crud, the car has been stored inside in a garage for the past 15-20 years, if not more. I guess it can't hurt to try some...

I don't think that it would be the switches since they still move up and down a little (albeit reluctantly). I'll still probably see if someone can take a look at them.

I definitely wouldn't mess with the motors or regulators myself, I know a couple mechanics that would be able to handle that. I'm trying to determine if the motors are in fact the problem before shelling out that kind of money for labor and parts if they aren't the cause. Would all 4 motors go...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but have been reading threads over the past few months pertaining to minor things I've had to fix on my 66 Polara. sorry for the wall of text, but there is one issue that I have not been able to find any info on, at least anything that I could connect to my specific...

Not very knowledgeable about cars, but I'm learning. Trying to fix some stuff on my 1966 Dodge Polara 500 Convertible. Location: Montana
