Howdy there.

My '78 924 has electric windows. The passenger side window had an issue in that it would only roll up from the drivers side switch; the down button worked on both sides, and the drivers window worked fine.

I did some investigating, and if things work like I think they should, there is a red wire with a white stripe in the passenger door that should have +12, but seems to be disconnected. In trying to see if I could find this wire on the back of the fuse panel, I think I broke something, because after taking a peek, none of the windows work any more.

I had a nagging feeling that I might have disconnected a black wire with a yellow stripe off the back of the panel, however I have no clue where it belongs. It appears as though the PO broke off the relay socket (and there is no sign of the relay) for the A/C, so there's a few wires behind the panel that aren't connected to anything.

I can't seem to find any mention of power windows in my Hayne's manual.

Any tips?

the Haynes manual does have the wiring diagrams for the electric windows and that is where you will need to start

Aah, yes, you are right of course. I had looked through the '77.5 - '78 diagrams several times with nary a hint of this option, only now to find it in a completely different section.

This also confirms my suspicion that the problem likely lies in the drivers side passenger window switch, rather than in the passenger side where I started looking.

And, this also explains that black with yellow stripe wire; I'll stick that onto G3 (I suspected it came from the G region) and see if that works!

Thanks for getting me to RTFM again; I figured it should be in there, I just couldn't find it myself the first time.
