Window crank

I have some rust free doors to put on my 80. They have power window motors, but the motors don't seem to work when I hook a battery up to them and my door panels are the manual crank style. Just wondering how easy it is to convert to manual from power. Major PIA?? Any tips or tricks? I would have to take the window crank and parts from my old doors.
Thanks,
66MM

the windows work different than you'd expect get a wiring diagram figure out the hots and the grounds i think you move the ground and keep the power constant i know i thougt i had bad window motors out of a donor but it was just the way i was testing them If in the end the motors are bad you just drill or cut the rivots off the powere regulators and the same off the manual ones the holes are the same place

Ya, it's unlikely both motors would be bad. Hopefully I can get them working and mount the controls where the crank hole is.
