Can you manually wind up windows on

an R33 if you have no power?

No Headlight Loom or Fuse box in engine bay available.

Door Skins are removed so easy access.

Just need to know OR be shown how to either power them up manually with battery OR wind up manually without power.

Or is it best to just get an auto electrician in?

If you take the door apart, you might be able to apply voltage to the window motor.

I don't actually know how this is done, you would need to be sure of the voltage and current limits, but once you had this info, you could isolate the circuit and power it up.

Thus giving you ability to wind your windows up without powering up the whole car. It's what I would be looking to do in this instance.

Do you have a photo to show where to hook up the wiring to?
Positive / Negative?
I knew I had to get manual power to the motor with a battery, just don't know wiring part.
Thanks for the help so far ;)

Perfect. Rang my mechanic and said the same unfortunately i have two flat car batteries so only half done. Off to buy a battery charger!
Thanks guys! Will try to post a video of it once done .

DONE!
Bought a new car battery as I needed one anyway for my other car once it is fixed.
Built myself some cables using 3mm wire with terminal clips at one end and switch clips at other end so you can easily plug in/out of the switch.

Then plugged the switches in depending on which way you want the windows to go up/down.

Then place the negative on the battery first and as soon as you touch the positive terminal your all systems go!

Please note this was all done on a car that has no loom or power or fuse box, hence only fix available.

Glad to hear it worked - was about 8 years ago I did that fix to mine. (Resolved with parts now)


I am having this problem with my r33 atm and we have rain forcast for tomorrow. What parts need to be replaced? My partner has a 94 model but atm is pulled apart for a re spray atm. Would i be able to use something of his untill i get the parts? Thank you in advance

First thing to test would be the above - check if putting 12v across the motor makes it move, if so, then motor is fine (which is great because getting it out and a new one in is a pain in the arse).

If that works, then look into checking the relay, it's the thing in this pic:

Pretty common for them to go out.

If still not, check the switch block itself, like the switches where you put the window up and down.

If it's the passenger window, note that everything needs to be plugged in on the drivers side (relay etc) for it to work.

I was lucky was just that the windows were just wound down before the power was pulled. Everything in tact nothing removed.
Just a matter of removing door skins, finding the window motor connection un clicking it and follow above instructions.
Before that i just had to tape up the windows, tarp over top of car then waterproof heavy duty car cover over top. And tape the tarp down.
Car battery, 3mm wire, clips, small battery terminal clips.

Thank you [emoji22][emoji22][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
It is my driver door. I have a 93 and my partner has a 94 model, his windows work fine, So i tried his switch(nope got nothing) tried the thing in the picture(nope got nothing). I can hear a clicking noisw when i lift the window switch up or push the window switch down.

I just had a look and the thing that u xonnected the battery to (the wiring clip) mine has some sought of grey paste looking substance. Ill get a pic and upload it tomorrow.

But thank you guys so much.

Okay clicking means your relay is fine - sounds like the motor might be toast. One of the first things I did to my 33 (back in 2006) was replace the window motor; the switch for "down" was slightly floppy, so it was stuck on, and burned out the motor.

Don't be afraid to wipe that grease off; it'd be anti-corrosion stuff, but I haven't had any on mine since I did the motor and it's fine.

IIRC the window motors themselves aren't too expensive; it's the cost of your sanity as you try to install it - though your hands are probably smaller than mine :)

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
