Camry 91 power windows button controls don't work?

I took out the driver's side door panel to check power motor. When I put my hand inside the door I moved a bundle of wires while at the same time pushing the control buttons. To my surprise the windows began to go up and down when I pressed the control buttons. But when I let go of the wires the controls did not work.Where is the problem? Is it the plug that plugs into the control panel or is a wire in the bundle which is broken. Can an expert out there pinpoint the problem. When I bought the car from a friend the windows were closed and controls did not work.Camry 91 power windows button controls don't work?
there is a short someplace in that wiring or try cleaning all the plug in terminals good to the motor and the control switch first to see if that works, if not you will have to follow the wires from the motor to the switch and if necessary replace just those wires.Camry 91 power windows button controls don't work?
You have a shortage in the wire that goes to the buttons. Take a pencil and paper and at the buttons write the colors of all the wires down. Draw a diagram of which wire is on which button. Then get you some wire and some electrical tape. Open the door and on the set of wires coming out of the door to the body of the car, remove the protective cover, take a small knife and skin back a small area of one of the same colored wires that connect to the buttons and twist one of the extra wires you have around it. Run the other end up to the buttons and tape on to the same colored wire. Try to see if windows work. Repeat this step one at a time until you find the faulty wire.Once you have found the wire with the short, just remove the old wire from the button and fix the new wire on. Twist the old wires end to the new wires end and pull It through the door. Then where you shaved off and tapped on to the old wire, cut it there and twist the new wire on. Oh yes, each wire you tape to that does not have the short in it, be sure to wrap it with the electrical tape. Also wrap the wire you fix with the tape as well. Replace the protective cover and the door panel and walla, you fixed it. Good Luck.
