Title: Adding Power Windows
Post by: Caparco on December 08, 2020, 03:40:57 AM
Would anyone have tips and tricks, how to safely wire 2 power window doors, into a 72 Challenger , that didn't come with power windows,
  I would also like to install a relay with it, to keep the power off it when not in use.
  Should I have a empty spot on my fuse box?
Or do those have a completely different box and I have to get creative with the wiring.
  The drivers side door has a 4 switch panel but obviously 2 of them would be dead, passenger door has one switch
Thanks so much for all the help in advance,
Will be researching this idea for a while before I do it.

Having had both oe and aftermarket power window set-ups on 70 Barracuda's I would definitely recommend an aftermarket complete set-up. These come with new regulators, wiring and install instructions so no guess work. They are much smoother and quicker up & down. Less electrical draw and use factory looking switches.

Those look pretty cool, but man those directions look pretty sparse. Hope you get something better in the box...the rear one is just a picture lol

    Well yes that does seem nice but I was more referring to just the wire set up as I got the doors from a power windows and my car has not but everything seems to be intact.
  Maybe down the road but that's not something that's in my budget right now, I would be fine using the
anks to be honest LOL

Did you only get the doors with the motors and not the Harnesses ? That will be the critical part of the conversion. Test the motors before you do it./font]

The nu-relic motors don't appear to draw as much as OEM, they will still tax the system pretty hard if you try to run multiples or they in full load status.

Be smart about how and where you draw power from when installing the PW kit.
