where are you guys getting 12v power from, a guy gave me motors and control mod from a '95 TA, I made brackets and a harness, they go up nice and down with a bang, need to make final adjustments and grab power.

If your talking about the mod on this link then you need to change your light switch to a C4 switch and tap off of the added post so the lights come on and open at the same time.

Give us some photos on you install...

 

same outcome, on the a-e plug, a=control, b=motor power, c=ground, d=ground, e=motor power.
So now I'm down to 3 wires, A, is just a relay sense so I'll use headlight power up front for the signal,lights go up, turn lights off changes signal lights go down, I changed to a standard headlight switch #141 $14.99, I've got an inline fuse for power so no need to run back to the fuse block.
KISS ( keep it simple stupid )
The motors don't use much power so at most I'll go to the starter motor, but I didn't want to go that far, maybe the headlight power?

 

The extra terminal on the C4 switch is for the "down" signal. You have the control module, don't you?

The following wiring connections correlate to the larger of the two plugs on the control module:

• Run two 14-16 gauge wires from wherever you plan to mount the module to the headlight switch
• Attach a female spade to the extra terminal on the switch. This wire goes to terminal "C" on the module
• Splice into the main headlight "on" feed at the switch. Attach the other end of this wire to the "A" terminal on the control module
• Run a 15 amp fuse (one fuse in each wire) in two separate 14-16 gauge wires from a battery (all the time powered) post to terminal "B" and "E" on the module (pick up power off the battery post on the starter)
• Run a solid chassis ground to terminal "D" on the module

The following wiring connections correlate to the small plug on the module:

• Terminal "A and B" apply to the left actuator
• Terminal "D and E" apply to the right actuator


Large connector on the control module: A=UP B=12 volt in C=Down D=Chassis Grount E=12 volt in.
Small connector on the control module: A/B= left side actuator power D/C= right side actuator power.


If you're using the 93-02 Firebird module the wiring is a bit different. The up signal is wired exactly the same and can be done using the stock C3 headlight switch. The down signal is accomplished by grounding terminal "C" on the Firebird control module. This will cause the lights to drop as soon as they are turned off, even if the parking lights remain on.

One thing I would suggest is to get the "pig tails" that go into the module and into the headlight motors. I removed each wire from the pig tails then opened up the original connector. I removed the piece of wire and crimped and soldered my piece of wire into it then re fitted it back into the plug. I ended up with a "new" harness without any inline splices anywhere.
