I have a door from a salvage yard. What I want to do is apply power and ground, to make the window go down (for shipping purposes). So we need to know which pin gets the juice and which the ground, and how much voltage and amperage.
The connector from the door is below:
Thank you.

Remove the door panel
Use a couple jumper wires directly on the window motor

Or unplug the power window switch connector, the red and blue wires on the end of that plug go to the window motor (diagram for a 2016)

Thank you ezone. I took off the door panel and there found the switch connector which has the red and blue. I also see a black, purple green brown, The purple green are smaller diameter. When I put an ohm meter across the red and blue it indicates complete circuit. From the 12 volt source, I run negative jumper to which? What bout the positive jumper?

Also, can this take full voltage and amps from a stand alone car battery? Can I use a cheaper/smaller 12 volt battery, if I don't have ca battery available?

Ignore.


Doesn't matter. You have to figure this out. One way will run the window up, the opposite way will run the window down.

Window motors all run on 12v.



You could run it off of the battery in your own car
You could use a 12v rechargeable cordless drill battery if you know how to hook it up (depending on capacity, most are strong enough to run a window motor a few times)
you could use a standard car battery charger

Thanks, I used a battery charge as source and bingo! red/blue up and down. Maybe because of my source, I hope, The window moved in short bursts, down 2 inches then stopped, then I lifted jumper and poked backed in another 2 inches. Thanks for your guidance and help.
