Power windows?

In my 85 TA are my power windows suspose to work on accessory. Mine only work when I turn the key towards start. Can I change this somehow in the wiring or something. Thanks

Yes the power windows only work when the key is in the acc. position. You could wire them up to have 12v at all times, then you would not need the key. I'm not to sure on which wires you would have to cut, rewire, etc... But you could use the old test light and probe the wires to see which one gets power when the key is turned over. Then just put 12v to that wire and bingo. Make sure to use a volt meter to check the voltage, as I am not 100% sure that is the voltage the switches use. Could work off of relays or something, so just in case.

Just some thoughts, I'm no expert.
