How To: Swap Manual Windows for Power Windows

OK I’ll make this short and sweet! You’ll need:

  1. Power window regulators & motors (glass is interchangable)
  2. Power Window Amp (little black box mounted on driver’s door under panel)
  3. Wire. That’s it!

Once you have everything mechanically in place, the electronics are simple as well:
(For reference, r = red, w = white, b = black. R/W means a red wire with a white stripe)

Starting from the passenger door, you have 3 wires coming into the car that you need. (R/W, R/B, W/B). Extend all three of these wires under the dash to the driver’s side.

From the driver’s door you should have 4 wires: W/B, B, R/B, and R/W. Extend the black wire to a ground point. Extend some +12V source and connect it to the W/B wire.

Now all that’s left to do is match up the colors.
Connect W/B to W/B (+12V should also be connected from earlier step)
Connect R/B to R/B
Connect R/W to R/W

Hope that helps you guys out.
