Move power window

[stealthbob]

On my '54 Roadmaster I need to raise the window to take it out. The car is completely dismantled. I simply thought that by applying the correct polarity of 12 vdc to the motor leads would do the trick....all I got was a small spark when it touched the lead and no jog from the actuator. Tried both ways...but only a touch.

It worked when the car was together but now it seems not?

Did you touch one of your leads to ground?

In other words batt neg to ground, batt pos to one of the motor wires. It should work that way.

Yeash of course it should :o:o

I guess I got mesmerized by those two wires....

Thanks, sometimes the mental block is baffling!

Of course now I can reattach those two wires and then use the switch block to control all the windows for function testing

The only reason I could respond so quickly to your question is that I had just done the exact same thing less than two hours before you asked.

Now wasn't that fortuitous for me...

Thanks again, I have now been able to remove the glass from both front sides and will be working on the rear quarter glass today.

Happy Canada Day to all you fellow Canuks!

Thanks Bob, you too. We went this morning and spent some time at the Royal Canadian Mint here. There's a street festival about half a block from our place, so we'll probably spend some time there. Booked tomorrow off work so it's a 4 day weekend...so I'm sitting in front of the computer, of course....
