Power window passenger side

Could anyone please tell me the location for the relay on a 1986 911? Want to check that before I tear into the door panel removal. Thanks

You can pull the door switch and test it without removing the door panel.

Thanks. I actually switched out the drivers side switch that works and placed it on the passenger side, and still nothing

Do you have 12v power available? If so, jumper the wires coming out of the door and see if the motor kicks on / wdw moves.

Use this: Power Window Switch schematic

Isn't there a schematic on the relay box in the frunk by the fuse panel? - at least a listing of what each of the individual relays are responsible for?

Did you swap the drivers side passenger window control switch? Control goes from there to the other door.

The power window relay on my 87 is just ahead of the left side of the dashboard. See post #6 in this thread:
power window switch or relay help

This is a good description of how that circuit works:

Thanks to all for your replies. Being the eternal pessimist, just in case it's not the relay, can the window motor be repaired?? Thanks again for all of the replies, it's greatly appreciated
