1978 WS4 Trans Am Restoration - Power Windows

[78TAWicklow]

Hi, I have just purchased a 1978 trans am project car.

The car has been stripped, and the bodywork completed and painted.

We are building the engine at the moment.

Electrics, wiring loom has been removed. I have new power motors for the windows.

They are currently half-way open, and I want to install the power window regulator and motor to close them.

Is there a way to power the windows separately or to manually crank them closed?

Thanks for any suggestions.

That’s an easy job!

Drop in the power regulator with a small jump lead connected to a 12V battery and a ground cable going to the door frame, and it’ll just whizz up with no problem.

Try it in a bench vice first to make it easier to work out which terminals to use for clockwise or anti-clockwise spindle operation (up or down).

Hi, thank you.

I'll try this and see how I get on.

Thanks.
