Well, gotta take advantage of being happy with fixed axle boots...
Maybe the spark and flash will be a simple fix.
A spark generally leads to something you can see, so hopefully it is obvious.

At least the window is in the hole!
Those window regulators can generally be cleaned up, greased really well. There are two circular clips that hold the window to the regulator. Those rust away over time... Might need to find new ones - or you might find the old ones in the bottom of the...
