C3 Power Window Motor Jumping?
I'm working on a 1970 Corvette with Power Windows. I had the windows all the way down while tearing the car apart for a restoration.
I'm ready to disassemble the doors, but cannot get the windows up now to pull the glass, etc.
The wiring harnesses have already been pulled throughout the car. I was hoping there was a simple way use a jumper to roll the windows up and down, but I cannot get them to move.
It appears to have the later model window motors because it has a small harness between the connector and the motor to make up the difference in the connectors.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Working in the door is always tight and never easy.
You should be able to remove the mount bolts holding the motor in and that will allow it to disengage from the actuator. Then you can slid the window up or down by hand. If can not get to the motor mount bolts; than yes you can jump the motor from a battery.
