    Need some help finding a wiring diagram for my power window motors. I'm not even sure if they are factory or aftermarket. I'm starting from scratch because they were never wired when I bought the car. It's a full custom build. The wiring that was in the car was a mess so I re-wired the car with a Painless harness. It has provisions for power windows but I have no idea how the motors and switches were wired from the factory. I bought a Chassis manual but could not find any wiring diagrams for the power windows. Thanks for any help.

    I have manual vent windows. So I was wondering if maybe my car never had power windows and the last owner tried to install them and gave up...? Could you get a mix of powered and non powered windows from the factory? Doesn't make much sense

    Power side and rear windows were independent from power vents. The vents were an add-on, but I believe if the car was only optioned with power windows to begin with (might be wrong on that).

    In other words, I've never seen one with power vents but manual everywhere else.

    My 2dr '67 Electra had power sides, manual vents. Nowadays, my '67 Wildcat, which is full of the Electra donor parts, has the Electra power doors transplanted, but still manual cranks for the back seat that came in the Wildcat!

    So no, having manual vents with the other windows powered isn't unusual.

    My 68 Electra Convertible has power side windows with crank operated vents. I think the only options my car has are power side windows and power seat.
