Hooking stuff back up

Ok guys since i couldnt get any attention on the electrical side, ill post here. My dad took off my doors awhiel back and with it all the power cordes from the windows/locks etc and didnt bother to look where they came from. And now i have the job to figure where they go and how they go. I cant place my new carpet in my car until the wires are back to where they need to be, and i cant put my new APC seats in until the carpet goes in. Lol so im gona stuck right now. Any help would be great!

I'm no authority on electrickery. I'm just figuring out the "rats nest" of wiring in my 'Bird too.
However, don't those wires have plugs or connectors on the end? Some of the connectors may be specific and only fit in one place, or a certain way around. Try eliminating those first

Cheers,
Mark.

Thats just the thing. I was able to hook up my power side mirrors, but thats about it. I have like 5-6 connecters by my floor mats but dont have any idea what they hook into. They all have diff sidzes and dont seem to fit into anything i can find a hole for them.

Guessing here because I haven't looked myself, but would some connectors go into the back of the fusebox? Or are the connectors supposed to be from inside the door itself?

I have one side of the door acuater (sp) hooked up and ran it back through the door and is where the floor mat is. I have half in my door itself, and the other ends by my floor mats, i just cant figure out where they came from. I looked and saw this box that has other plugs and wires coming out of it with some empty spots, but they arnt the right size.

You said the fuse box, there are plugs that go directly into the fuse box?

I'm not sure - it was just a guess. I haven't looked at the rear of the fusebox, only the front (to replace some fuses!)

there should be a tan and brown wire for the lock solenoid that goes to a relay in the driverside kick panel, the dark blue/light blue wire goes to the power window motor (assuming you have power windows) the orange/black/blue and i forget what else it's on one weird looking multi connector is for the door lock switch
