Absolutely. Thanks for watching

FINALLY!!!! I had been thinking about doing this and could not find anyone who covered switching out the door panels and using the aftermarket window kit. I would like to attempt to connect to the original controls. I went to the junkyard and removed the 4 panels from the car, left the harnesses attached and just cut them off. Hopefully I can find the wiring diagram to assist. Thanks!

Glad to be of some help. I wanted to use the factory switches too, but laziness got the better of me. I was going to use the whole harness and everything but find out it wouldn’t work without the GEM from the donor truck. I have plans of redoing all the electronics and drivetrain though down the line.

So the "Driver" factory window switch did not work out because it was programmed to talk to the BCM, but I found some switches that looked "close" to OEM and had to cut out the trim some to fit but it def looks better than if I kept the door panel with the hole where the gear sat then mounting a big ugly block to it 😂. I was just so glad I found your video. I'm happy! 😁

Great video. I didn’t even know this was an option. I there an automatic cutoff when the window reaches the top/bottom or do you have to release the switch so as not to damage the motor?

Thank you! It stops on its own, but presumably because it has a max force limit, so I don’t hold the button any longer than I need to.

Well I pulled these door panels from a truck with factory electric windows and they attach just the same. As far as the switches, I took one of the factory ones apart, and looked at the wiring schematics online, but to be honest I couldn’t quite figure out how I would need to repin the harness/switch to make them work. I’m sure if I put more effort into it, I could get it done though. It’s just a switch, it’s pretty straightforward, I just didn’t feel like messing with it at the time.

How have they held up in the past year? I was thinking about buying the same kit and I'm curious about the longevity of the product.

No different from the first day as far as I can tell. The passenger side could use some lubrication. I think since it was never used as much the internals are a bit bound up. But it hasn’t deteriorated over time.

The kit for the windows is linked in the description. As far as the door locks, that might require you to have the wiring harness and GEM module from a donor truck. The windows and locks are linked into the factory security system and so it all needs to talk to one another.

What vehicles were the door panels and console removed from to fit your single cab f150??

@GooseAutoWorks

2 ай бұрын

I got the console from eBay, but it was out of an Expedition. The door panels were from a Supercab F-150 at a pick and pull yard. There were Expeditions there too with consoles. I wasn’t thinking about the pick and pull place when I ordered the console online. It was way cheaper at the junkyard. I did buy a seat out of one of the Expeditions though since I needed the seat pan and bracket for the console swap.

The kit and the process is universal, but I’m not familiar enough with the interior of Wrangler doors to say if this process works. If they’re not removable, then yes. If they are, they have contact patches instead of wires running through the door and into the cabin.

I'm also planning to install power windonw on my car, do you know how many amps is the fuse that it came with the kit?

It calls for a 30, but I used a 25. I’d rather it be slightly under than the other way around. But I don’t remember if the kit came with fuses or not.

I’m really not sure. I was tracking down a knock and put a borescope down each cylinder when I found it. My best guess was it was oil (or lack thereof) related, but not too sure other than that. I’m going to either swap in a long block from a Gen 2 Lightning or a Coyote 5.0, but I haven’t fully decided yet.

okay but can anyone tell me if you can go from power to manual windows ?

@GooseAutoWorks

4 ай бұрын

I mean you probably could although I’m sure that’s not a popular choice lol. You’d have to swap the internals. The lift assembly would be different. You might have an issue with the security module as the power windows are tied onto that computer.

Have you done the lock/unlock?

@GooseAutoWorks

Жыл бұрын

No. I looked into it, and even started taking a wiring harness out from a truck at the junk yard, but abandoned the plan. It’s possible to make it work, but you need the factory wiring harness to the doors and the GEM module for the security system to allow it to operate. If you already have power locks it should be much more straightforward, maybe just repining a connector or something, but in my case it was more trouble than it was worth to me.

My problem is that my vehicle does not have an interior fuse box . 2001 Chrysler Voyager .

Oh Dang. Yeah it’s weird they did that. You can still do the method I used, you’ll just have to go through the firewall to the fuse box under the hood. Not ideal, but still doable. There should be a grommet or 2 you can use to pass through to the other side.

Well regardless of what switch you decide to use, you’ll need to get power to the motor. The easiest way is using the fuse jumper like I used. It’s clean and gives the motors their own fuse.

Is the driver side the same regarding connectors etc ?, I want to convert my 90 240sx from manual to power window, I have all the original wiring, buttons, regulator etc and what to use at least the original buttons. But wanne know if the driver side even supports I think 6 wires, 12v, ground, up, down, passenger up, down

@GooseAutoWorks

2 ай бұрын

They’re similar. The pin outs may be different because the passenger side controls just that one window, but on the driver side you’ll have 2 dedicated switches which should look the same. From what I remember, the driver side has the same wiring but two wires for up and down for the passenger window is run across to the driver side switches as well as a ground for that switch. If you’re able to find a wire diagram for the power windows for the 240, that would be helpful considering you’re using original wiring. When you start getting into things like one push down/up functions you start adding more wires, but if the switches are basic in their functionality like these, it should be pretty straightforward. So if the switches are a 5 post connector it will be pretty simple to know what to do. I’m not sure if that answers quite what you were looking for, but I’ll help where I can.
