Default How to get power to accessories W/ No swap

I bought a gsr shell but the guys left the windows and moon roof open. How do I get power to accessories with no swap? Do I jus plug up a engine harness and battery? What will work? Car will be sitting for about a month so I don't want it getting dirty inside! Thanks

All the motor needs is power and ground to move one way or other
So access the electrical connectors use a battery and some wire

Stick a battery in and turn the ignition, roll up windows. done.

NOW

If you put in a battery and the cluster doesn't light up after you turn the key to the ON position than you have another problem.

I can't just put a battery in because if I'm not mistaken car grabs power (red wire) from engine harness doesn't it?

Yes, just plug up the engine harness BUT NOT THE ALTERNATOR WIRE and you should be good to go.
