Got an 81 vette in the shop gona get into it tommorow but the problem I have is both power windows are not working. Only spent about 5min with it today and didnt pull up any diagrams yet but i did notice there is a 30amp ciruit breaker in the fuse box that protects the circuit. Just figured i would ask here first because of all the great advice ive gotten in the past off this board.
Anyone familiar with 81 vette? Got a window problem.

I have an 80 and was having simular problems.
I found that the plastic gear in the window motor is a notorious failure point.

OK. so i cant find a wiring diagrm for this circuit to save my life. But i have been doing alot of reading and i have no power going to the switch witch for this car is the pink wire. I checked all the fuses and the 30amp breaker that controls the circuit. all seem fine so im guess that the pink wire is broken or dissconected from the fuse box. Ive been reading that alomg with the circuit breaker there is also a 20amp fuse that ties into the circuit all my fuses are good but because i cant find a diagram i dont no witch fuse i should be focusing on. if i give the pink wire power from another circuit everything works nomal. Any suggestions?
Send me a PM with your email and I'll see if I can help you with the wiring diagrams. They're not that complicated but you do need them to figure out what's going on. Make sure to inclued the DOB of the car because that makes a difference in the diagrams.
thanks charlie. pm isnt workin for me. its jasondecapite@att.net the car is a 81 corvette L82 package. Anything else you would need to know?
Love that era of Corvettes, but the last year for the L82 was 1980, of that I am sure.
Look for charlie calling in your in box and we can go from there.
