Default Question about windows & sunroof button

Hey guys I was have windows, sunroof and heated seat problems.

For some reason the passenger window doesn't work when it cold...and it stutters when it warm doesn't move smoothly.

One of those nights I opened the passenger window and wouldn't closed I tried a blow dryer on the button and it worked instantly...I was wondering could that be whats affecting the rest of the stuff?

My heated seats light come on but it never warms up...and the sunroof u can heat the click but thats it.

Any ideas?

The window and sunroof switches might be bad.

The seat heaters there might be a wire under the seat bad.

It will be a little bit of a pain but you should be able to test them with an Ohm meter.

If you can hear the motor clicking then something else is wrong.

You will have to play with connecting the probes. But you will be testing to make sure current flows through.
