Re: IML: '55 Power Window Trouble/Mystery Solved

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

Page 198 FSM states that the relays were eliminated in the power window system in 1955, in all except the Convertible and the special Club Coupe. This special Club Coupe is presumably the Newport hardtop, and it must have relays for the rear windows. My car is a Sedan and it does not.
