dei 530t problems

I just installed a DEI 530T in my 72 Chevelle for my 2 rear windows. The problem is the motor runs for about a half second then I can hear the 530T click and shut off with the switches in the high position. This happens in both directions. I have the batter in the trunk and I am running power and ground from the battery. The windows operator in both directions but as mentioned before shut off quickly. I have one of these in my front windows also and my drivers window works great but the pass has issues (suspected ground problem within the motor). I extended the 530T wires by about 2-3 times if the length is the problem I can shorten them but left them this way for routing and dressing. Did I do something wrong or do I need to do this? http://www.teamclarion.com/sharedwebdbs/ clarionsupport.nsf/732ff3bc1327551388256a4c0078512c/ c2a2f22fc8cc66fe88256f7900781944/$FILE/ 1900%20530T%20Resistor%20Modification.pdf If I need to do the mod which one should I do the code is OK/12I

The first thing is to ensure your windows run smoothly. 530t now has DIP switches so you shouldn't need those mods. Frankly I wouldn't dare to install this on any car over 10 years old.

That mod if for versions with dip switches. The windows work with the factory wiring I did verify that prior to doing this. I know it's probably not idea but I'd really like to use them. Granted this is for the rear windows and if it doesn't work it doesn't work but I have them tied into my Viper 5902 and would like to have the remote roll up and roll down.

Then by all means go ahead. You could also try thicker feed cables (+) and (-) to the unit.

I can try that also I ran 14 currently. I wanted to make sure I exhausted all options before modifying the unit. Also just to make sure I'm right I tied the ground path inputs to the same ground line as the unit going to the battery since these are only 2 wire motors

What do you mean by fround path inputs? Do you mean the switches? If so yes. BTW ALL window motors locks ard 2 wire by definition as a permanent magnet only has two wires.

Violet and Violet/black are the ground path inputs I'm referring to.

Oh yes ground them to the battery NEG (-) side.

K so it sounds like I have 2 options 1) Shorten the wires going to the motor or increase the gauge (or both) 2) Modify the 530T to remove those resistors.

Howie II thanks as always for helping out
