Elijah, I am not sure of that particular model, but normally, you do not ground the motor. The switch does the grounding, so that the positive and negative (ground) can be reversed to allow the motor the up and down movement.It is a DC motor, so reversing polarity reverses the direction. It sounds like they may have the wires to the switch and motors confused somewhat. Ask them what the motor does if they connect the power directly to the motor wires and then reverse the leads to the motor wires.

The car was evidently in a fire, but the owner is restoring it. I had rebuilt all the power window switches for the car, but the repair shop is still having some problems getting the power windows to work. As best I can understand the situation from our conversation, the windows will only work when a ground wire is attached to a window motor and run to the body. But when this is done, the window will only go down, not up. The shop has a copy of the schematic from the '66 shop manual, but it appears to be for the Chrysler line, and is not the same as the Imperial wiring. Anyone have any ideas on this one? Thanks!
