DIY - OEM Power Window Conversion

[TOLMACH]

^ Thank you

In the first picture of this thread, the pink and yellow wires that feed the windows motors - do I understand correctly that motors get (ground) from the the doors metal and pink and yellow wires are just two (+) leads; and only one of those wires is actually suppllying (+12V) to the motor at any time when the switch is activated?

(Just trying to figure out the polarity and whether it matters.. or I can hook them and see which way the window goes and then decide the correct connection?)

Thanks again

No ground is connected to the motors, as you have to be able to drive them in both directions. With the aftermarket kit the two motor wires exit the door and go to the power window relay, which handles doing the complete reversal of power and ground to the motors to allow up and down.
