removing door glass in a power door

[classicchev]

Is there a easy way to get the glass down from power doors that are not wired. Any ideas, quick wiring diagrams???


Thanks,

Darren

you could disconnect the connector from the window motor and jump the motor with a battery or jump box...that's the only way I know of to do it...

Yep, I've always used a battery from an 18v drill

The wiring is very simple, there are just 2 at the motor itself. Getting to them is a bit of a challenge though. I have always used a "jumper" that I made by cutting the "business end" off of the harness from a donor truck. It is just the factory connector and a few feet of the wires.
Then all you need is a battery. Touch one wire to the + positive, the other to the ground and the window will move. If it moves the wrong direction, switch the wires.

It works this way because the motor is not grounded. You give it hot and ground in the direction you need for it to move.

May have been doing something wrong, or the motor is pooched. The doors are in MINT condition, so my quess Im doing it wrong.
