'69 Toro Power windows

Postby L'Toro69 » Mon Sep 16, 2024 6:56 pm

Evening gents,

I have a 1969 Toronado I got a few weeks ago, it was my grandfathers and sat in his garage for 30 years as a project car that he never made it. As I have slowly been bringing everything online and working out the kinks - the power windows have been kicking my butt. Currently no windows operate up or down from any switch throughout the car.

2 questions -

1. Per the wiring diagram attached and based off what I have seen on other photos throughout the forum. On the fuse block accessory slot there are normally 2 individual wires hooked up for the accessory circuits called out in the wiring diagram. I only have one (what appears to be pink, may be faded red?) pink wire attached that immediately runs into the engine bay and I can't figure out where it goes from there without pulling the loom apart. The question being - should there be a second accessory wire plugged in there?

2. Where the heck is this power windows relay?

Appreciate the assistance.

-LA

it's probably under the dash. someone removed my power windows and converted them to manual and there's quite a few messed up wires under there around the radio

I ended up just pulling my dash - I needed to anyways for backlights/radio/HVAC not working.

For future reference incase anyone is ever in need:

The power windows relay is located just inside the drivers side door frame behind the dash tucked right before the wire bundle going to the door. About shin height if you were sitting down.

The pink wire coming off the accessories slot on the fuse block is the coil wire for the induction relay. The reason my windows aren't working (amongst some other wiring issues) is the inside of my power windows relay was literally dust from years of rust and decay. The only thing left was the small coil of wire. Another one on order and we'll keep on going with the restore!
