I've traced one of my electrical gremlins to the heinous knot of wiring leading to the power windows. If I take out the power window fuse, the battery doesn't seem to drain overnight. Now all I need is a set of window handles.

I found these on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...tem=7968695455&category=40018&sspagename=WDVW

It says:

--

THE PART NUMBER WOULD INDICATE OTHER FORD YEARS BUT I DON'T WHICH FORDS USED THEM. THESE CAME FROM A 1983 MUSTANG BUT HAVE A 1976 PART NUMBER WHICH JUST LIKE THE MUSTANG II FROM 1974-78

PART # D5DB 6623348 AA

--

Does anyone know which years fit the II?

Those handles look like my originals, except mine had clear plastic knobs instead of black. The Ford window cranks are prettty much standard for all models as far as mounting goes.

Some people ....Ford has the simplest numbering system of any automaker, and sellers still get it wrong.

That's a Granada part. II handles also carry a Granada part #, but if I recall correctly, it's a D6 part. Yes, they'll work as posted above.

Update on this. Whatever window mechanisms are on my car, they are not OEM. I have no idea what kind of window cranks I need so I'm stuck with the stupid power windows.

(Found this thread researching wiring / electrical gremlins.)

Joey,

If you ever get one of those electric mechanisms out, please look for some serial numbers. I'd love to know what it came out of.

Is it a "crank" type or a cable-drive type?

I've looked at the Electric-Life retro fit power windows for the '65-'68 Mustangs, but can't tell if the scissor mechanism is close enough to the MII parts for them to swap. Probably not. Maybe the motor and gearbox could be swapped though.
