I've been an industrial electrician for over 35 years.
1990 Grand Wagoneer.. black with sand interior.. Razor grille, Hella H4 headlights, Piaa driving, LED spider taillights, tinted windows. Full Corinthian leather front and rear seats, custom full length center console with cup holders. 100 sf of Rattle Trap on floor. Edelbrock intake and 2132 cam, Howell TBI, Ford Distributor Cap, TFI Ignition Coil, Desmogged
I'm in the same boat. Totally crappy situation, but would really like to see my $144 again & haven't heard anything in over a month.
Hang tight Johnsonic. I bet you will either get your money back or get a product eventually. I bet the family is still sorting out the situation. My dad also died unexpectedly on August 19 and I am still trying to wade through an incredible mess. It will work itself out. It will no doubt take some time though.
And thank you Men in Black. I am more than capable in making a harness. But hoped to save time by buying 2 of them. One for my current build and one for my personal rig. It also would be a big shame to see the work go away. Even if it meant posting the electrical diagram, that alone would save a lot of time for others.
I'll put on my patience hat and hope for the best.

I've been an industrial electrician for over 35 years.
Just checking back to see if there's any chance of a diagram.
men in black, I have a rough sketch of what I was thinking and have most of the parts. If nothing else, I'll PM it to you and get your thoughts. I'm no electrician, but I think it shows what my thought process is. Thanks for your help.
Thanks for posting. I was just about to order stuff from Susquehanna motor sports for this. They have nice 40 amp relays for this there. I have the parts for the headlight system already.
The schematic will speed it up some.
Again thanks.

I installed my harness and never got around to actually plugging a window motor into it.
Finally installed my original window motor - it kinda worked slowly for 5-10 seconds then died.
I just assumed the OLD motor was had - couldn't ever get it to move again.
So, I bought a new/refurbished motor, installed it, powered it on, same thing... ran REALLY SLOW/weak (without the window installed, just on the arms) and within 5-10 seconds it died. I removed it from the bracket/arms/gears - plugged it in and tried to run it without any of that stuff - and the motor wouldn't respond at all.
I have a feeling something is wrong with the wiring and it's frying the electric motor.
Any suggestions/ideas??
Here's a photo of the harness/wiring installed without the motor:
I installed the two red wires in terminals 1 and 2 opposite of the blue wires - I'm 99% sure that's correct, but also wondering if that's where I went wrong?

some really weird previous owner mods
it's an automatic now... boooooo
it's got a 1967 buick 340 - blah
What motor are you using the early one, or the later style?
I ask because the early ones have a dedicated ground, the motor polarity is on separate wires. Meaning one wire is up and the other is down...neither is connected to ground!
The newer motors work by reversing polarity on two wires, and do not have a dedicated ground.
If you have it wired/setup for the newer motor, and you're using the older motor it will not work and you'll likely toast the motor.
Early motors are three wire, with one wire permanently grounded, no?
Should be obvious which he has.
