So today while driving, my '92 Dakota's power windows decided to stop working (while the window is down, of course). The power lock still works, which rules out the whole driver's door losing power, but the strangest symptom is when I press the window button (on both driver's side and passenger's), the Parking Brake warning light comes on. It goes off when I release the button.
Electrical is firmly my weakest subject, but based on the wiring diagrams Google has provided, the only place these two wire systems could meet would be under the driver's kick, but how this is happening, I have no clue.

I checked and just-in-case replaced the fuse, and master switches are like, $12 on Amazon, but I wanted to reach out in case someone has seen something like this before. Any ideas?

 

Looking on RA they sell the motor for the window and a gear replacement kit. Experience with other brands of car tell me it is one or the other has gone bad. It would be worth it to remove the door panel to get a look. Cut the vapor barrier with a razor so you can tape it back together. If the gear looks good the motor probably died. If you have to change them consider doing the beltline and the glass channel while you have it apart.

 

Thank you, I will take a look! I'd dearly love it if the fix were that easy. (although if all else fails, we have a line on a '92 Dakota at a Pick-n-Pull, and I'm not above replacing the whole door. What could go wrong?)

 

You still get a door with an old motor in it. If the window is slow, or just unresponsive, just replace the motor and call it a day.
