Door Electrics

[chevblood]

g'day all,

i'm about to buy 2 doors with electric windows and central locking, the old fella that is selling them aint sure if the power windows work.

He has given me the ok to test them, but I dont want blow any motors and take trim off etc.. in case he starts freaking out.

Can someone tell me if the small plug controls the up and down window and if it's ok to connect direct to a car battery?

Cheers

Small plug is door locks. Orange is constant power and other two are lock/unlock going back to the other door switch. These you can test by hooking +12 on the orange and grounding the door. Then try the lock/unlock switch.
The doors don't need to be grounded to test the window motors. Only the locks.

Not sure exactly how you would test the window motors without removing the door panels.
Window motors are reverse polarity. They have 2 wires going to the motor, connect one wire to +12 volts and other wire to -ground and motor will move up (or down) and switch the wires motor will move other direction. But without the Relays and other switches connected I don't think you can test without going directly to the motor wires. I could be wrong though.......

If you do pull the door panels just trace the 2 wires that go down to the window motors located in the bottom of the doors.

Hope this helps...Mate!

only way to get the motor working is to go through the motor wires directly past the switch if you can't put power through the relay.

Whatever you do, throw a fuse into your test wiring if you are pulling straight off a battery

thanks fellas, much appreciated will test them this weekend, i decided to buy them anyway, $250 for the pair I cant go wrong, rust free is what I wanted, power windows and locks a bit of a bonus and damn hard to get original chev pick up parts down under

thanks again!!!
