Part 11: Power Windows Installation - My 76 Mazda RX-5 Cosmo Restoration
I now present episode 11 of my '76 Mazda RX-5 Cosmo restoration. This episode deals with the task of installing the AutoLoc PW4650 universal power window kit. This kit includes motorized actuators which rotate the existing manual window cranks, driving the manual regulator and thus converting it to power without the need to fit an entirely new window regulator. Additionally it includes all wiring and switches (not installed yet), and mounting brackets. As it is a universal kit, it is universally wrong for every application and must be customized to fit. The installation was straightforward though time consuming. I have to admit, this episode is a monstrosity and quite a bit longer than normal. But for good reason, because I didn't want to do a "To be continued" as the next episode will be quite special. Included in this part: custom fitting AutoLoc universal power window actuators, making cutting channels into the inner door for space, patching and finishing off the channels with welding and sheet metal, cutting sheet metal from templates, media blasting before painting, making brackets for actuators, a surprise at the end.

Automotive Repair: Power Window Troubleshooting

Imagine the convenience! Just push a button and the window goes down all by itself. This luxury item used to be reserved for only high-line cars many years ago but is now the standard. For years, the window switch had a direct path to the window motor and when the system didn't work, troubleshooting was usually pretty straight forward. Today, though, that window switch may go to a computer instead, requiring the tech to review a little tech info before he even starts pulling door panels.
In this edition of The Trainer, we'll take a look at some diagnostic tricks of the trade to help you make short work of repairing today's power window systems. Click this link to subscribe to Motor Age! http://bit.ly/MA_YT_freesub

You would normally be doing this if you had an issue with wind noise or a problem with the window going up and down that did not involve the regular/motor assembly. This is pretty much the same procedure for doing a window motor/regulator assembly, there are just a couple of extra steps you take to remove the motor after removing the window.

No sooner did I get my new power probe than I needed it for this window repair. I've always liked this tool for this exact kind of repair as it makes it very easy to verify the operation of a 12v component with just the push of a button and now with the addition of the volt meter it's even better. I know the 'beeping' can get annoying but you can turn it off when you want but it's nice when you're working by yourself and are trying to verify a signal, listen for the noise and you're good. I hope this video gives you some insight into this type of repair I know a lot of people can get overwhelmed when confronted by an electrical repair but if you have a good wiring diagram and the right tools it's a good start to a successful repair.

1995 JEEP Cherokee Power Window Switch Repair
None of my power windows would work anymore so I set out the fix the problem. After checking continuity of the switches with my meter I disassembled the eaton switch by prying the top off. Inside each switch is two contact strips. I cleaned them and the contacts in the switch base and put the switch back together. Did the same with all four switches and took the assembly out to the truck to see if that fixed the problem. It did indeed. All four windows with go up and down now. Thanks Dalton for being my camera guy. Great job.
