if you have a complete uncut loom then the live feed goes to one of the Y plugs, the ign live to plug D pin 8,9 or 11. if you look at the plug there may be a spare black wire you can splice into. earth goes to the claw above the fusebox. see my fusebox faq for more info, pics of the back of the fusebox are on the last page

Nice one for that. Helped me out a lot. Just blowing the fuse now. Think it's the switches "/

If you find the windows are quick sometimes, and not at others, or off a direct 12v feed they're quick but not when on the switches, pop the switches apart and clean the contacts where they arc and soot up. A bit fiddly, but better than replacing motors and finding it makes no difference. Top tip to try 1st for anyone with slow windows!!
