get a wiring diagram of this if you know rest all www.reliable-store.com or a manual from the same place, for simple solutions also

Haynes repair manuals would have good wiring diagrams. Or google it, you can find about everything on the internet, but sometimes a problem with too small of print, or maybe my computer skills need sharpening. I don't know about those wire connections not plugged in. Are you sure they are from the doors? Can't imagine what they would be.

Remove plastic panel . Rear seats might have to be removed first. There are bolts and/ or rivets holding everything in place. There might also be a YouTube video on the subject. Good luck.

I would probe the motor terminals with a multimeter while trying to roll it down. If you don't have system voltage there, you need to start tracing back to see where the problem is. I would try another fuse first. I know you say it's ok but, it's strange for both of them to fail at the same time.

Float level may be low and starving carb of fuel on left turns.

The shift linkage bushings and the Shift lever bushings are probably worn. Adjustment of linkage and shift lever is probably needed. If this is beyond your DIY capacity, I'd take to a competent Transmission shop. Or purchase a repair manual from your auto parts store. You will want it again soon anyway if you are a DIYer. filepeep.com may have the manual, or try manualslib.com

this helped me a lot

wiring diagrams are very confusing, and there is so much on a vehicle that you will need to know specifically what type of diagram you are seeking. You can go to alldatadiy.com and it costs about 18 bucks to subscribe to them for a year, and once you put in your vehicle info, you can find all the wiring diagrams, and it is a very good resource for all information about your vehicle that you will ever need.

I would jack it up safely and check for side play in wheel ,very possible it's a bearing assembly

Check if the timing advance is working. The vacuum advance on the distributor may be bad. A timing light should show good advance when engine is revved up.

Invest in a Haynes repair manual. excellent investment for doing all your own repairs on your vehicle. Purchase at local auto parts store
