I recently purchased a 1993 Turbo R with 37k miles, and have encountered a couple of problems:
1.The passenger-side power window goes down fine, but will not go up. The motor sounds the same (strong) during both up and down cycles, but I have to pull the window up to close.. All other power windows work fine. What might you suggest? Lubricate the window arm?
2.The car came with three keys, but no fob (I’m unsure if the car even originally came with a fob). Neither the power lock switches nor pushing down on the actual locks activate the central locking, but the alarm does sound when I push down on the switches. The locks also don’t activate when I try to lock from outside with the key, including the doors and boot. I’ve tried this using several combinations of the alarm switch within the glove box with no success. Any suggestions?

Thank you for the response, Andy.
1. How do I access the felt for lubrication?
2. How may I operate the power locks without the fob?
As regards the door locks i have been told if you operate the door locks by using the private lock with the key it should operate them all.
As regards the lubrication of the channel please just wind the window down and spray the felt runner that it slides up and down in and this should sort it
Many thanks

Thank you fo rthe response. I was unable to get the power locking to work with either of the three keys. For the passenger side window, I sprayed WD40 onto the full length of the felt guides, but no success. I fear I'll need to take off the door card to investigate further.
Regarding the problem you are having with the electric window lift .
It may be that the chain is seizing.You will need to remove the door card to investigate.
And check that the coupling is still in tact.
As regards the power lock situation this may be the alarm ecu control box in the boot of the car
Many thanks
