swapped doors

ok i swapped maunal window doors for powered ones. does any one have any way to wire the powered ones up? do i have to pull the whole harness for the wired ones from the car? or is there an easier way to do that?

the wiring should be there in the main harness, look around by the kick panels, there are little connectors for the mirrors and windows. if not just swap in the under dash harness, this will require the dash to come out.

ha no, the doors are in bad shape. the drivers side got hit and dented it at the front seam next to the fender. The right side had that stupid chrome bumper bar stuff on it and was all rusted out from when the previous owner didn't seal it right.

i don't need anything other than to wire up the doors and mirrors. But all you need is the manual window assembly inside the door its self. The glass is the same. So all you have to do is take out your electric regulators and swap in the manual ones. Its a PTA to get the glass undone from the arm assembly. If you have a hynes manual or a chiltons that will help alot. You can prob find an assembly at a junk yard. I have not found that many electric ones around here.

sorry for taking so long damn computer sucks *****. Thats cool im trying to get as light as possible, so i was just asking. I can get out the harness, in the next couple days, if you want to trade its a deal, cause i can't find anything around. i need to fix my running lights and its all yours.
