I've been sorting out some electrical issues, and throwing some money at the cars lately. So I figured it was time to start a thread, after all who doesn't enjoy watching other people spend money?
Seriously, maybe a few others have travelled these roads before, had the same problems and this thread will be helpful. Electrical issues can be aggravating and can tarnish the enjoyment of an older vehicle. I'm new to e30's but no stranger to classic cars, but that's another story.
Anyhow, I finally figured out what was going on with the inoperable window motors.
Background: The supply of window regulators seems to be drying up, and those available online are typically over $100, even for refurbished.
In my research, I read the 87-91 regulators were different than the earlier design, and the motors themselves would not interchange either. But curiosity got the better of me and I had to see for myself.
Note: 87 on the left
