    Electric window hook up question

    The 2 tabs on each side are tied together.... So you use 1 tab from one side and one tab from the other side. If the motor runs the wrong way , just reverse the wires.

    A/C Install in a CSi

    ....Yes the copper tube needs to go into the tube that is inserted into the evaporator core. Rotation of the "Colder" knob changes the temp that the compressor turns on and off.
