Power Window Motor Car Wiring - FOR BEGINNERS! @WiringRescue

**PARTS LIST IN DESCRIPTION BELOW**
Power window motors can be wired many different ways for many different purposes. This video shows the two ways of how to wire a window motor. One method does not use any relays. The other method uses two 5 pin Bosch style relays. I also explain how the switches work in each circuit and why I might choose one window motor wiring method over the other. Whether you are wiring window motors in your race car or daily driver, this wiring diagram should help!

Learned more in 5 min than i did 4 years or high school.

[johnmckee]

I love it! Having a electronics background you do a excellent job of breadboarding, and explaining operation.
Keep up the great work.

[andreykotovsky]

I want to convert my mercedes truck to an electric windows and this video show exactly what to do, even switches i wanted to use are same. Thank you for this mate.
Also best explanation of wiring

[chapstk]

I am so happy I came across this. I am finishing a body harness for my Foxbody and was really trying to get away from a expensive window specific relay. This works perfectly for me.

[charlesjones]

Been fighting how to wire the windows up in my race car. Thank you for this video

[wallywallyblack]

Thank you for making this video. I just followed your wiring and I'm able to wire my power windows and locks.

[moshpitsurvivor]

That's a great explanation of how each set up works. Being a visual learner that helps a ton.
I'm adding power windows and locks to a vehicle that didn't originally have them so this is definitely a light in the tunnel 😅.

[andrewbotha]

Thanks for very good descriptive explanations and believe me at 78 I need that! Will Share your videos!

[josuegonzalez]

Thank After watching a million videos and burning so many fuses your video really helped great work and very helpful

[garylewis]

Your video’s break it all down perfectly. Now I have enough knowledge and confidence to have a go at wiring my old roadster

[escapetheskate]

making a body harness for my car, used this circuit to actuate the pop up headlights was stuck for a day scratching my head

what a fine thing you are doing here. I have an old tractor with a 24 volt starter that used a series/parallel switch(relay/solenoid). I had problems with the switch all the time. It had 2 80-amp aluminum fuses right on the switch which would frequently burn out. The actual switch for the tractor is crazy exspensive for this old Russian tractor.
So I am in the process of rewiring it. I am, and always have been scared of wiring. As I dont know how it works, very well. I would pretty much glaze over when trying to deal with it. The more of your videos I watch, the fog is starting to lift. Particularly in this video, as you explain the relay.
The way my tractor was set up, you only needed 24 volts to start, everything else is 12 volts. I bought a 70 amp 24 volt alternator and a continuous 4 pin 250amp 24-volt solenoid. I also have a 2000-watt 24-volt inverter(for AC onboard power) that I want in that circuit. The alternator that I bought from Amazon is a DB ELECTRICAL ADR0047, it has 4 posts on it. Post R tests about 13.8 volts, post AT tests about 28.4 volts, post I also tests 28.4 volts, 4th post is ground. I have a 2awg copper strand for this circuit. I am unsure of what fuse to use here? The old setup was an 80 amp, so that is at least a good place to start. The problem is, it would frequently burn out. The engine at the front and, the batteries in the back, so about 7-8' separates the starter and batteries..maybe this is where the current surge on start burns fuses? My thinking here is to use pole AT on the altenator to make a circut for the starter and the inverter. The tractor already has a big heavy ground switch that I would also like to have in this circuit to avoid parasitic drain. Then I would like to use pole R for the accessories...lights, wipers, etc.
I would love to send you pictures of my project if I knew how. Any direct help you could give me to achieve my goals would be greatly appreciated.

I love your videos.

I feel like pulling out my perspex windows from my race car, and adding motors, just because I now know how to do it!

[danielgrace]

Thankyou. I remember doing this a while back you just gave me a great refresher.

[marshalt]

I just found out about u today looking around youtube. Idk how to thank u, u r d best of d best! I m gonna share your channel w my friends . Lots of love from Ethiopia

[theoriginaljimmykicker]

Watched a similar video. Like 10 times and still didn't get it. This is great! Thank you!

[chriscadman]

So simple. Clearly explained. Excellent. Thanks!

[babybird]

Wonderful video and content ! May I suggest, on your breadboard to the left of the pin number identification area, you draw a square large enough to display a representation of the pins on the bottom of a 4 or 5 pin relay and label each pin as well. That way I don't have to hold a relay in my hand, to see where each wire connection goes, while watching the awesome relay designs you come up with 🙂

[tedbastwock]

So so good. Thank you so much. Great explanation. For my learning, and maybe this is bc Im noob, but I like to focus slowly on the flow of electricity. Not that you didnt do that here, you def did, but I had to pause a bit. Really great, enjoy this and grateful for this very much.
