Chrysler Repair: 2001 4 dr Chrysler Sebring power windows, chrysler sebring, speaker hole

Question
After putting both driver and front passenger window half way down the windows would not go back up or down anymore. None of the switches work.  Fuse is good and I swapped the pwr relay with another and had no luck.  Pulled out drivers control switch to trouble shoot further. Checked voltage with neg lead hooked to dash frame and found 14 volts on one wire(brown) and 13 volts on black wire of the switches canon plug with car running.  Could not find a working ground wire on the plug itself. Also, drivers door would not turn on interior dome light except for on occasion, moving wire harness inside the door panel behind the radio speaker hole. Not sure if they could share a common ground?  Tried another switch from a junk yard car but that didn't fix the problem either.  Not sure if it was a good part though.

Answer
Hi Jeff,
It appears to me that you have lost the ground wire somewhere between the switch plug and its ground point behind the dash, probably either at the ground point itself or at the hinge area where the harness is constantly being flexed which is the cause often of a broken wire. I say that because the solid black wire is almost always a ground wire and if it is on pin 2 of the plug to the master switch then that is a ground wire for sure. It reads 13 volts because you are looking at the voltage coming out of the circuits on the switch and were it grounded it would of course read 0V. If you separate the plug the harness side should show 0 ohms to ground. If it is floating compared to ground (or in other words infinite ohm) then that is why you aren't getting window function.
I am sorry to be getting back to you so late, but your question was just transferred to the "pool" where I found it. I must say that I am working with the 2000 wiring diagrams, and assuming they apply to your 2001 model.
