Does the passenger side window only roll down slow when controlled by the driver door, or does it go down slow when also controlled by the passenger switch?

Is your voltage gauge moving down when you use the windows?

Hi Raspberry, I suggest getting a professional to check it out if you are not familar with electrical problems...Your Monte is just about 27 years old and if they are the factory window motors (?), they are most likely wore out from age/use.

You need someone with testing equipment to determine `if you have a short somewhere ? You might have to replace your window motors, & have your switches checked..
Good Luck

grease the tracks i have issues with it but be warned wd40 wears out quick have your mechanic use professional grade grease you'll be all set. its the fact that the felt in the window track wears down to the rubber beneath over time leading to more friction.

Yes, your fuse box in on the driver side under your dash & there should be a diagram on the lid that you remove.

Happy to read that you have someone coming over to test your electric currents...Good Luck
