So I removed the doors on my 89 GT to paint properly. I need to raise and lower the windows for various things. Like removing felt strip for window to replaces, remove door handle and etc. Anyone know what wires I should give power and ground to just to operate them?

Why not just remove the motor, raise the window, and reinstall the motor?

If you want to use electricity, the two wires at the motor will either raise or lower the window depending on polarity.

You can unplug the window motor plug and then just add power and ground for whatever direction you need. Like the above said, just pop the motor off and raise and lower it by hand.

Thanks y’all. I wanted to avoid cutting the vapor barrier, but that will make it easier.
