Sure can, just make sure the fuel pump isn't connected.

no fuel pump so thats not a issue haha. would every ground on the loom be grounded or just the one at the negative terminal of the battary?

when dealing with electricity, make sure everything that needs to be grounded is grounded

Is the OP asking if he can roll the windows down without an engine??

 

[jp_ek4ferio]

No I'm wondering if my ignition will come on without a engine I was using my ELECTRIC windows as a example

 

[Muckman]

Of course it will come on without an engine. ITS ELECTRIC. Battery powered, not engine powered. You've never tried to put the power windows up or down without the engine running before?

 

[jp_ek4ferio]

your missing the point here im not specifically interested in my windows i am asking about my ignition ie oil light check engine light ect windows were an example. anyway thanks to the lads who actually contributed something useful

 

[Muckman]

Im missing the point because you listed the wrong example?

the better example should've been, if I had a power wire attached to metal and turned the ignition, would I cause a fire :lol:

i listed nothing wrong i simply asked if my ignition would come on without a engine fitted and one of the things you can do with your ignition is operate the windows i used other examples of things you can do with your ignition. not my fault you fixated on windows maybe you should stick to licking them
