So the car doesnt have power, or a harness so im figuring im going to have to hardwire the window motor, its a power window s4. The windows are all the way up so i cant access the bolts holding the glass on the rack.

Can anyone fill me in or tip me on how to get these windows down, If i got to hardwire the motor to a battery which wires will i need to use?

Thank you

There are only 2 wires going to the motor itself, so connect power up to the plug. If you hook it up one way, the window will try to go up. The opposite way, the window will go down. You'll have to lower it to remove the bump stops and regulator bracket.

+1... I always carry a 14.4v cordless tool to the scrapyard for just this purpose.

Beats searching for the one car with a somewhat good battery.

Well this helped me out, too. What about the driver's side? Isn't it a bigger harness?

Nope... Pull the door panel and you'll see the wiring direct to the motor. Two wires only.

I do automotive electronics for a living and replaced my old 12v Dewalt with an 18v...and then cussed myself because I didn't think about it.

So, I built a little voltage divider instead.

There's still use for smaller power tools.
They're lighter and easier to fit in places.

I keep a 7.2v Black and Decker drill that has the batteries built into the handle and a 3.6v Versapack power screwdriver for light dash work...

The 14.4v is a BluePoint (SnapOn budget brand) impact wrench...

I just put the door panel ON! lol I know what your talking about now. thanks

Agreed.

My 12v was just too weak in certain applications, plus it was old and the batteries didn't like holding charge anymore, thus why I picked up the 18v.

It is heavy as hell, and hard to fit into certain places, but it'll do whatever you need it too. I use it at work every day and it has treated me well over the last year. Cool thing too is, my 18v charger will also charge my 7.2v dewalt swivel screw gun batteries.
