Aren't our cars a daily adventure? Just as soon as you fix one problem a new one arises

Well, i managed to brand a couple fingers while trying to make the window go up with a paperclip, but it doesn't seem to be a switch issue.

Been searching, can't see a how to on removing the door panels, anyone know?

Should just be screws and clips.

On the e30 you have to unscrew the door grips, then pull the lower part of the panel and work your way up. They're easy to break, so take your time. When you've worked your way around, unscrew the door lock & lift the panel up about an inch or so then off the door.

Ok, door panel is out, motor out, sanding down the bits now that have rust on them.

However, been trying to test to see if the plugin for the motor is getting any power and everything is coming up negative. Anyone know how to test the circular power window motor plugin for power? Been holding down a switch while testing the two prongs against the ground and each other, no voltage detected.
