WINDOWS!!!
Hey I don't know where to put this up at, but I need to know whut I need to switch over from Manual to Power windows. I don't want to get new doors or door pannels. I found plugs for the crank hole. But what do I need, motor and actuator or just the motor. Thanks

I haven't done this, so if I'm wrong, you've been warned...Youd'd need door interior panels, probably a new console panel, unless you want to cut up your one for the switches, switches, motors, heck, you'd be better off to get the doors from a wrecker, and then just swap the insides. At any rate, you've got your work cut out for you.

Car: yep
Engine: uhuh
Transmission: sure does
Its really easy if you just get doors and ALL related parts off a donor car.
The whole power lock/window harness comes out of the car seperatly with all switches and relays attached.
just hook up your constant 12v, key 12v, and ground and away you go.
If you get everything off a donor you won't have to go looking for the odd stuff like connectors, relays, console trim pieces, etc.
Some people have done it by just switching the guts in the doors, I personally haven't done it that way.
Another option is (belive it or not) JC Whitney sells a universal power window kit.
A buddy of mine installed this kit in his ranger pick up with all the stock regulator hardware and it works really well.

Does anyone know if GM still offers this as a kit? They did the last time I asked (10 years ago!).
