Ok, so I have an 82 GS, and am in the midst of putting power windows in it. I got a power window switches and slot that they go in. Removed my tray and I see 2 plugs under it. One is a 2 prong and other is a 3 prong, both females.

My power window switches have a 4 probe male connection.



Looking in the FSM, they should have a 6 prong conection.



But the power window motors have a 2 prong connection.

Questions:

1. Do all RX-7's come prewired for this, or do you have to add the wiring?

2. What are the connections I have?

3. When I get the power window motors/arms, what else is there that I would be missing, if any?

 

That's strange, I was always under the assumption that even the older FBs came pre-prewired for Pwr Windows even if you didn order them that way...

Were did you get your power windows from?

 

Kent aka gsl-se addict on the forums. I thought the same.

 

6 prong connectors are on the 84-85 models. The wiring should be there for the power windows. Might be buried under the carpet.

 

That diagram shows a single 6-terminal switch for BOTH front windows.

A single window could be done with a 4-terminal switch of the proper type (internally wired as a polarity-reversing switch), or a standard 6-term generic switch with a little wiring magic (cross-poled DPDT-CO).

 

Generally wired for PW yes, but not all bodies have the door harness pre-wired, i.e., the widebody which started as an S model. Iirc, there was a change in the window switches at some point. Do you have the correct switches for your year? I have an S3 PW switch that is a 6 prong, but the rockers are different from yours.

 

Well, I got an 82, and I believe these are from an S2 as well.

Also, negative so far on the prewiring. I just took out the center counsel and as far as I can see, no wiring for the switches.

 

Fwiw, you posted the S3 wiring diagram, you need the 82 one instead.

I had an 85 GS. It didn't have the wiring. I had to get the wiring from the connector under the seat to the switches.

 

I had to swap a short harness in the doors and a short harness under the driver's seat when I moved PW from an 84 GSLSE to an 84 GS. 81-83 also have a harness which connects the switches to the dash harness. It runs along the left side of the tunnel under the center console (not under the seat like 84-85). You can see it on the Section I locator page in the 82 diagram. It terminates with plug X-11 on one end and the two switch plugs (I-06 & I-07) on the other.

 

I have power windows in my SA... 0% pre-wired, heh. Was fun.

 

Thanks so much for that info! This all makes sense now.
