Lotus Service Notes
BR.12 - ELECTRIC WINDOWS
On cars so equipped, switches for the electric windows are mounted in the front of the door trim panels,
and are operative only with the ignition switched on. To help locate the switches in the dark, an illuminated dot
is provided in the 'down' button which glows amber when the lights are switched on.
To lower a window, switch on the ignition and press the lower, dished end of the switch in the relevent
door. Release the switch to stop window movement. To raise a window, press the upper, domed end of the
switch.
The electric operation of the door windows comprises;
- An electric motor and winder drum assembly mounted on a bracket which is bolted to the door shell.
- A guide channel for the window lift block, incorporating top and bottom cable pulleys, bolted to the door
shell.
- A single drive cable running from the window lift block, around a guide channel pulley, through a flexible
conduit, around the motor driven winder drum, through another conduit, around the second guide channel
pulley and back to the window lift block.
- An adaptor plate bolted to the stud plate on the lower edge of the door glass.

lift bracket attaches to the door glass.
