Just to make life easier in the future I recommend you do the same.

Great... why didn't you say anything 15 years ago when they were making my car?

Why did you let your cat piss on the carpet.

Good one, I let mine sit on my computer monitor, but driving the SVX is a no, no.

A bit of humour/humor makes the day.

Does anyone have the wiring diagrams for the windows? I was messing around with my windows alittle today and have taken care of everything under the seat/carpet. Now I gotta see why its acting like its not getting ANY power? My seat still works fine, but the buzzing has stopped and nothing happens.

These are High res so you can zoom in and see how bad the connector was.

Odepaj, look under you seat... I'm guessing if your driver's side window switch and your moonroof motor buzzes when you press them... it's this relay under your seat... Good luck!

And thanks again for the help
Sweet pics. I have one too. (if you're wondering why it's cracked, that's how deep the potholes are around here. You should see the other side, there is a dent in my old ABS CU)

My windows have stopped again, second time in 5 years or so. I'm thinking some kind of vapor guard needs to be created. Anyone have any ideas? I think most of the water and **** gets in through the bracket for the forward right most seat bolt.

edit:

The result. There is also a layer of plastic wrapping the wires under the tape. I removed a corroded area and do not wish to do it again.
