Power window switch

[cheqsixx]

Hello all.... 86 Full Size, just purchased.. Slightly above average condition.

Definitely a work in progress.

Anyway, I am replacing the (missing) driver's power window switch. The guy that had it before me just ripped the thing out and nothing but wires now. I have been using some deep south engineering and figured out which wires operate which window and direction. I get them moving by touching specific wires together.. Well, I finally got ahold of a switch and went to install it when I realized that Ive got no friggin idea which wire goes where on the switch!!

The switch has 6 prongs, and I have six wires.. Problem is, I feel like that idiot on the Price is Right trying to get all of the prices matched to the right products.. Grrrrrrrr! There is a blue wire, a black wire, a red wire for the drivers side and anther red for passenger side, and 2 yellows (1 psgr, 1 driver). Again, I have figured out what wire does what to the window, BUT cant get anything to work by alternating wires on the switch. Ive been searching the internet for about 4 hours trying to find a wiring diagram of the switch, but no luck. Has ANYONE out there wired one of these up and/or knows where the wires attach or have a link to the exact diagram for these wires to the switch?

I guess the Ford dealer may be my only hope if no one here has the key to unlock this friggin mystery..

It kills me, because Ive replaced the brake booster, ignition, trans filter, frt oil seal, harmonic balancer, fixed the power rear window and repaired a dent on the quarter, but this little square piece of crap has got me on the ropes! Im 1 more blown fuse from going to crank windows!! :blink: :blink:

I'll take a shot at this but make you no huge promises

the switch on the drivers door should have basically two switches on it

So on the switch for the left side you should red wire on the DOWN end of that one

On the same switch you should have a yellow wire on the UP end of that one

now on the switch for the right side window a yellow&black wire on the UP end, then a red&black wire on the DOWN end

That should leave you with a black wire & a light blue&black wire I show those as common wires that should have black as the ground & the light blue&black as the power to the switch.

Here's where I think you've got a 50/50 chance on which one goes where may cost you another fuse & with any luck this will get you close OR somebody else sharper than me will be able to give you some help

good luck

HOLY ***** I got it!! The diagram was exactly what I needed. Amazing how something as simple as figuring out the wiring on a 20 year old truck can make your day!! /

Thank you thank you thank you!!

That diagram was from the EVTM. You can usually find them on ebay, search on "Bronco EVTM" no quotes. Ford produced them for every modle vehicle since I believe the 60's. As far as I'm concerned it is a must have book if you are going to maintain your own vehicle. They normally go for around 15 to 20 bucks.
