92 talon awd

[sk8boylou]

I just bought a 1992 talon tsi with no motor in it and no battery. All I was wondering was would I be able to hook just a battery with out a motor in it and be able to roll the windows up since they are both down and the cars out side. And I won't have a motor for a couple weeks.

yeah

you could to that or just put 12v to the window motor

do i have a problem with my wiring harness if i am grounding my 12v source and hooking it up to the positive of the battery wire and still getting no power...

Yeah, just put on the battery and turn it on and close it. Ive done it couple of times. Nothings gonna happened besides the fuel pump turning on.

Ok I'm scared I think I ####ed it up. I had it to turn the dash on and stuff and it seemed like It couldn't put out enough volts to use the window motor. So I was using a 12 volt battery charger straight to the bAttery wire and then just grounded the battery charger and went to turn if off when I noticed it wouldnt power the window motor and now I went to try it again and I can't even get the dash to light up. Can someone please help me!

The worst that could've happened is you blew a fuse somewhere. If you have the tools, just borrow the battery from the Jetta and use it to close the Talon's windows.

thanks man, cool to see a fellow dsm fan in naperville, we should meet up sometime

would it be alright if i used jumper cables and just ran them off a running car straight to the battery wire?

If I did blow a fuse, what fuse would make the car not get any amps at all, not even to light the dash...

You might have blown the ignition fuse.

You might have blown the ignition fuse.

[92DSM89]

smart choice i would say a motors a little more important than kick panels. but if he wasnt to give them to you
