Power Window Install Question
I just bought a Power Window Kit from Electric-Life For my 1991 Ford Ranger 3.0.
My question is this... It says to connect (RED) wire to the ignition Switch. Where and how would I locate and attach this to the ignition switch? Does this mean I have to attach it to the Panel box under the hood ot the fuse box under the dash and at which location? I thought this would be easy. But as usual, it is so not that easy now. The Blueprint stops at that point and does not go into detail where it might be located.
Also it has the (Red-Blue) wire connecting to the Dash Light. Where and how would I locate and attach this as well? The ground wire was easy to figure out. Thank you for any help you might provide.

It's been my experience that electric windows draw a lot of current. I believe I would come straight off the battery + with a fuse, and then run into a 12 volt 30 amp relay commonly used for fog lights. I would then hook the red in the diagram to the relay.
You can then ground one side of the relay coil, and the other side of the coil can be run over to the under-dash fuse box. Buy a "fuse tap" at the store, and hook the coil wire to a fuse that is hot in run or accessory. This coil wire can be connected anywhere convenient and can be small, since the relay coil draws very little current.
