97 SS Power windows not working, help?
Hey guys I have a 97 SS Camaro 6spd and my power windows have quit working. I just ordered two new power window motors (drivers side with a new window regulator) and I want to put relays on each window and run power straight from the power junction to each relay. I have seen a kit for this (I can't remember the place that sells it) can you guys help me out? Also I remember reading here about doing a "Retain Accessory power" bypass but I'm not sure if my 97 has that or is everything controlled thru the BCM (body control module) and is it necessary to bypass the BCM?

Autotrix makes a kit that helps with power to the passenger side window. Not sure I've heard of anything for both sides.

RAP is part of the BCM in 96/97.

They have kits for both. The drivers side kit is different because it needs to support the express-down feature. They also have one that adds express-down to the passenger side.

It's not a relay. It's a circuit breaker. Acts just like a fuse - opens the circuit when excessive amps overheat it. But unlike a fuse, the breaker "resets" itself when it cools down.
