drummerboy Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 When all the windows quit in my 71, it was the power window relay. They pop up on ebay once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also radio doesn't turn on. A standard RY8 relay should work. The relay is located above the left kick panel. The radio is on a separate circuit, check the fuse for radio.

radioguybill Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 The windows and radio may be on the same fuse . You might want to check that Bill N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC1968Riviera Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 On my 68, someone bypassed the main power feed wire to my master control on the drivers door when it broke in the door conduit with a fused (fuse and holder) splice. My fuse blew and none of the windows worked. Not knowing the fuse blew, I ended up tearing the dash apart looking for the power window relay. Look to see if someone jerry rigged your power window wiring near the fuse box on the inner firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioguybill Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Hi Robert, If you're getting battery voltage to the radio (can be checked with a 12 volt continuity tester) and the speaker(s) do not pop you could have a bad output transistor or current limiting resistor or other things. If they do pop amp section of radio is operating and you have an rf problem. It's hard to diagnose w/o it on the bench.
