How about on an '85? I have a picture of the fuse block, just need the exact location of the window motor relay.

If you can't locate a good schematic with color codes,you may have to do this the hard way and that is determine which color wire sends power to the power window switch then look for a relay that has that particular wire coming off it. I don't recall if they used a relay block. They possibly used an independent relay and colors are easier to chase that way.

Just looking for an easy, quick way to get the window lowered. The heat index is over 100 every day. Too hot to spend more than a couple minutes at a time working on it. Also, too hot to drive it with the window closed.

I've been told many times to go to there. I hope you're not where I think you are !!

You can always take the panel off, remove the motor and let gravity do the rest. There is just enough room to push it back up and wedge a screwdriver in there to keep it up. Don't ask me how I know this.

This is a stupid custom van. It takes a long time to pull the panels.

well, then your other option is a rock or hammer for instant ventilation

I have seriously considered that. Just hoping it will cool down a little. 96 today with a H.I. of 105.
