Thanks, will give them a call.Assuming the relays have a standard automotive relay terminal configuration, that should work. Give Waytek a phone call before you order them just to verify.

I haven't been able to checkout my shopping cart at autotoys.com for several days. Not sure if they're still in business. I went to my local NAPA store this afternoon to see what they had in the way of relays. They had light relays in stock, but they're SPST so won't work for this application. I ordered two SPDT power window relays (Hella 4RD 931 680-04) for store pick-up, but don't know how many days it will take to get here. They did have one compatible harness with 14 gauge wire in stock, the other will be in at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow. The price for one harness was $14.69, so $$$, but I'll have both in hand when needed. These first parts are for my power door lock circuit in the DS front door, which is now devoid of internals. Hopefully I'll be able to find a less expensive source for the power window circuits in the other three doors. Waytek is the first place I'll check.
Back to basics.My power windows quit a couple months ago (locks still work). I initially replaced the switch, as the PO had done some questionable fix-it work. Unfortunately, no fix. After going around in circles a few times and having close to zero electrical knowhow to fall back on, I am giving up. However my windows still don't work.
Does anyone know anyone / LC shops in the San Jose, CA area who can be trusted to do this electrical diagnosis / fix? Better yet, someone who is capable of wiring up @slcfj62 's awesome mod?
As a last resort, I could drive it out to Georg / Valley Hybrids (@orangefj45) but I'd like to avoid the trip & I think he's sick of dealing with my 62![]()
So far I've done the power door locks and the power windows on the two front doors of my '86 FJ60 project vehicle (moving most everything over from my '89 FJ62). Works great! Haven't done the two rear door power windows. The rear lift gate power door lock already has its own set of relays, I'll be checking those out after I finish moving the rear lift gate and wiring over to the '86.@4Cruisers - how did the relays and harnesses work out?
I think I figured out a solution, it involves re-doing my splicing to add the relays into the harness side instead of the switch side. The relays themselves have been installed inside the door cavity down low, out of the way of all the door internals.
See my Post #169 above. I'll have to see if things still work after I finish all of the re-splicingNice and clean! So how did the fix work for you? I tried this a couple of weeks ago and it did not work for me...Possible that I made a mistake in the splicing; my brother thinks the grounds on the doors are bad. You can hear each actuator clicking, but none except the driver's door have enough juice to actually move the locks.
I was thinking that. The way they're installed it would take about two or three minutes to turn them so the terminals face down. Thanks for the suggestion.Nice work @4Cruisers I will make a suggestion don't mount the relays with the terminals facing up water will get into the relays and make them fail prematurely you could lengthen the wires and put the relays in the truck.

Yes, double check the color coordination but the grounds are just as important. The same thing happened to me...wired up everything and then no dice. After finding a better grounding point, all windows worked like a charm. I would also suggest removing the rubber and washing with dawn dish detergent. Couldn't believe how much crap came off the rubber. It significantly helped the speed of the up/down.My bad! I got ahead of myself. I need to go back and redo this because it seems to work for everyone else. I used different relays since that website was shut down, but maybe I chose the wrong ones. I saw the tweak to change the wires so the colors match the original instructions, and even though I carefully "translated" colors maybe I screwed that part up. If you fail, try, try again!
