How to "bench test" aftermarket Dolphin brand power windows - 11/30/17 02:24 PM
The 37 Dodge coupe I'm working on came with a Dolphin brand power window set-up, not installed. No instructions, switches, or hardware. Only what is seen in the pic included. It is brand new, never installed.
I don't have any switches yet. I plan on only using 2 switches, mounted in a center console.
Is there any way to bench test these units before I install them? Only 2 wires on the motor. Up and down according to research.
I tried using my battery charger to test it. Ground clamp to the frame of the regulator assembly, and the positive clamp to the wires of the motor, one at a time. Nothing happened.
Should the motor work like this, or is the proper switch with 5 wires needed? The switch type I'm looking at has power in, 2 grounds, and a wire each for window up and window down.
And if anyone has used this setup have any pics or tips to share?
Thanks
