Default Window motor

Is there a trick to disconnect the electrical connector from the window motor?

The passenger switch could roll the window up but not down. The driver switch worked rolling the passenger window up and down. Now the driver's side switch will only roll the window down but not up. The window is currently stuck in the down position.

I'm wanting to check the voltage to the motor before checking the relays. Any suggestions appreciated.

Sounds more like a switch problem. I've never dug into my windows on the 968 but most cars the plug just pulls off (probably just stubborn) try a screwdriver as a pry bar (gently with power OFF)

ps. the bad switch would most likely be the pass side.

Thanks for the help. I decided to go ahead and clean both driver's side and passenger side switches. Reassembled and reinstalled and the window is back operating again.

Woo Hoo.
