okay so i'm installing a universal power window kit by spal and was just wondering... when i just connect the red and black wires from the main motor (power and ground) the motor turns the crank one way( rolls the window up)... now i'm wondering what makes the window roll down, what makes the motor run in reverse. There's no control module i'm thinking it's just how you wire the switches?

Can anyone who has a little knowlege of this help explain this to me and how i would wire it up. thanks

 

well most motors like that are reverse polarity type...when you reverse the pos and negative wiring the motor works in the opposite direction.

 

more info, what kind of car do you have?

 

Yes. One wire rests at ground and the other wire gets power. The switches are I believe 5 wire?

 

it's a 91 crx si BTW- if anone else has some info i'd be interesed in learning more thanks for all your help... i was reading another post where the 5 post switch had like post 3 and 5 conected together and 2 and 4 connected or something like that which ties in to the reverse polarity
