The area was wet which probably caused the corrision. Thanks for the information.

Glad the site and it's helpful members could point you to the fix.

I didn’t want to assume it was the exact same problem, hence I didn’t quote or copy and paste.

Glad to see that my work paid off and is helping others( Sept 6 post) with the Windows issues Just to add to my original post Problem solved. The two larger Green wires , one is from fuse under the hood and the other feeds the Drivers door switch. The 3 smaller wires feed the other doors. When i cut the shrink tubing and found the corrosion the 2 large wires were just butted up to the 3 small ones. No but splice just end to end contact and shrink tube holding them in place..

It was the same for the power windows in my 88 C1500, butted together no crimp connection, just tape.
