I am currently in the process of having a 347 stroker built and the engine is completely removed. Unfortunately, the shop put both windows down when they yanked the engine out.

With that said, I should be able to pull the fuse for the fuel pump and starter, hook up the battery, and then put the windows back up without any issues right?

Your help is much appreciated!

The easiest thing to do would be to remove the door panels, disconnect the window motor, and apply 12v directly to the window motor.

You could similarly pull the window switches and gain access to the connectors on the back.

It does seem like it's their issue to deal with (the knuckleheads)

Pull the eec relay or the fuel pump relay.

The pump is fed by fusible links and not fuses. The eec relay feeds the fuel pump relay and will kill power to the ECU and other functions as well.


Edit: oops didn’t see this was the SN forum. The above applies to the fox. I’ll leave it up but not sure if this also applies to an SN

Just be prepared for a rash of codes when you get it fired back up (with all the sensors unplugged)
It's only going to shoot out a little gas when you turn the key on
Just catch it in a beer can and roll the windows up
