Fry me a River - was - Window Lift Motor Installation - Got Power?

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lose the engine - it sounds tight.
AMC , i've heard, have low bids on
items that are costly, and those motors
and the power seat motors get slow
over time.

Bushings / worn contacts / cheap
material etc. 


Eventually I'll find the GM engine
that will swap into the AMC - 
easier - stronger - cheaper to
replace.

Check the lift mechanism for binding
when the door panel is installed - 
you'll need a can opener to remove
the outer skin of the door.

I just installed a window lift motor in the driver side rear door on
our '89 GW.  I've got it all installed correctly and it won't move a
bit by using either the front or rear door switches.

I've cut and crimped the wiring harness connector onto the rebuilt
motor two different times, using two different connector types and 
it
won't budge.

I've hooked up a test light and tested various locations for power 
and
have juice through the wires.

The only way I got the motor to work was using my battery 
charger on 2-AMP
12 Volt charge setting.  I took the wires directly out of the motor
and hooked them up to the charger and powered it up ... the 
window
motor would operate fine then (slowly on 2-AMP service).

I'm guessing that the short wire-harness might be bad below 
where I tested
it, but am looking for any ideas from you guys on this one ... it's
got me baffled!

Any ideas, please let me know!  Thanks!
