Re: 62 power window overload relay

Also there is a 15 amp breaker on the ground of each window motor. For the front windows they are located behind the kick panel. One on the passenger side and one on the driver's side

Re: 62 power window overload relay

Problem solved. Long story short. 30 amp breaker at starter solenoid. What confused me was when I checked for voltage at the window switch I had 12 volts. when the motor worked 12 volts, when the motor didn't work 12 volts. Evidently enough voltage was bleeding through to show voltage, but no enough...

Re: 61-63 data plate information

Probably not going to be much help, but with the position the fast idle cam is in (in the pic) I don't think the screw should touch the cam. When the fast idle cam is rotated about 90 degrees counterclockwise it should touch and that's where it is opening the throttle plates. In the position it's in...

Re: 62 power window overload relay

Thanks for the reply Jim. I can see most of the wiring and what I can't see I can feel, nothing but wire. Wondering if the breaker is built into the switches.

Re: 62 power window overload relay

Also, I never lose 12 volts at the switches even when the motor doesn't work. Thinking overload on ground side
