Power window help please I've basically gutted the car and am in the process of putting it back together. I've basically turned it into a drag car, roll cage, race seats, all the wiring harness from the dash, no heat, no ac, replaced guages, motor, trans, everything. So, the one thing I did keep was the power windows. All I want them to do is go up and down. I've gone through the schematic and I'm lost. There is this thing called the Power Window Control Module that it appears I have to have to make this work. Is that correct? I don't care about express up or express down, I just want to make the buttons that are there now make the window go up and go down. Here is the schematic I've been using. https://ls1tech.com/forums/attachmen...dow-module.gif

You can eliminate the Power Windows Control Module by unplugging the module and connecting the brown wire in position D to the light blue wire in position E.
Do you still have the harness in place that connects the switches to the module and to the windows? If so, simply bypassing the module as WhiteBird00 points out is the path of least resistance. If you need to make a new harness that connects to the stock switches, that's a more complicated deal...

Just to confirm you want all the switches to work as they did from the factory - but without the express down feature.
(You should test this before you crimp! I'm looking at my schematic and not actual wires in the car.)
Driver's side switch power:
Brown - Hot Power
Black - Ground
Driver's side motor connections:
DK Blue to Motor DK Blue
Grey to Motor Brown
Travelers from Driver's side switch to Passenger side switch:
LT Blue to LT Blue
Tan to Tan
Brown (from power connection) to Brown
Passenger's side motor connections:
DK Blue to Motor DK Blue
Brown to Motor Brown
So, its pretty much just matching some colors except for the driver's side motor, where you are taking the module out of the loop.
