[s-cars] Battery going dead...rear windows dont work.

[Nick Stuart]

I actually did cut the yellow wire yesterday thinking that was
it...nope  :(  (there was only one solid yellow wire goint to the pump
that I could find, so I assume that was it. For know I guess I can
keep unplugging the freaken battery whenever I stop somewhere...had to
do that with the ol' 5000 till i replaced the radio.

Anyone know if the power going to the rear windows can be disconnected
with out snipping anything? I'm willing to take apart the door if I
can unplug something in there that would help as the windows dont work
anyways. (will fix when its warm out and I care)
