79 jimmy tailgate window wiring help
« on: May 11, 2009, 07:18:09 pm »
i recently purchased a 79 jimmy and the rear window switch is missing i found it in a junk box in the rear i need to figure how to wire it. the switch has 3 prongs there are only 2 wires coming from the rear window a blue and a white one. the prongs on the back of switch are in uniform alignment with the center raised higher im guessing its in nutreul. do i hook the two wires up and leave the center empty or do i run a ground to the center wire? all help will be appreciated

Do you have the rear power window circuit breaker in your fuse panel?

In the fuse box. Take a picture of your fuse box and post it.
