So I'm wondering if I can test the cars electrical system without having an engine or any of its sensors installed. I'm wanting to check basic functionality of some of the electrical components (windows, sun roof, lights) to see what I need to buy, because I bought the car as a bare shell and I have no idea what works and what doesn't. Can I simply hook the starter into the wiring harness, and ground the negative side to something on the chassis, hook up a battery, and turn the key to acc? If not, is there another way? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
