I have a '62 Olds with a bad relay for the power windows. The windows are designed to only work with the key in "run" or "accessory" positions. The relay went bad and the windows wouldn't work. We had to bypass the relay to put them up. A buddy wanted to get me a used relay from a '61 or '62 Cadillac. I checked my Cadillac parts book for interchangability and didn't find a listing. Then, I looked at some wiring diagrams online and it looks like Cadillac power windows are hot all the time, wired in with the cigar lighters and courtesy lights. Is that the case? Can you '61/'62 Cadillac folks operate your windows all the time?

Thanks,

Paul

That is correct. '61 and '62 Cadillac power windows do not need the key on.

My 1961 Cadillac Town Sedan does not need a key to operate the power windows or the power seats....I recently replaced my relay and wire harness.
