Ugh.. when I rewired my '63, I discovered the previous owner had wired the window motors directly to a 12v source with no fuse. I'm no Einstein, but it was a safe bet the motors were melted because of that. But because I'm no Einstein, I rewired the car with an in-line 30a fuse.
It's blowing on a regular basis and I know I need to get a relay and do it right. I've found a few schematic diagrams for our particular set-up, but - again referring to that Einstein thing - I glaze over, studying them and just don't get it.
For one thing, what is up with numbers on a relay? Do they signify anything or are they arbitrary?
Could I use one relay for both window motors, since they draw from the same source, or better to get one for each side?
And What kind should I get? Would the little black, square boxes 'The Shack' sells be okay?
I just don't want to smoke these motors, at $200 a pop... or burn my car up! Thanks!
