years ago I brought home a pair of gold 300C doors with electric winders.
I tested the window operation after giving everything a good cleaning.
my little very portable 12V batt wouldn't budge the windows.

These motors Take a lot of juice to run, between 13 and 15 amps I 
recall, well within the specs needed to fry wires if they have to carry 
a load that size for a period if time, especially if there are old 
pressure fit connections that have over time aged (corroded any at all)
