I'm installing factory power locks, windows, and mirrors to my car and I have a harness from an 89 TA. Since I have a 91 I don't have the junction box behind the kick panel that this harness plugs into so I have to cut the plug off and run the wires to the correct feeds. I have a orange wire, an orange wire with a black stripe, and a thicker pink wire. I want the accessories to work just like if they came from the factory, so which wires do I need to plug into an always on source and which do I plug into a key on source (I'll be tapping into these from the fuse box in case there's ever a short)? I'm guessing the pink wire is for the windows since I'm sure they need more power than the locks and mirrors, but I just want to be sure.

 

I looked through the wires on the harness, and I think I've figured out that the pink wire is the power windows, the orange one is the power mirrors, and the orange with black stripe is the power locks.

 

Nevermind, when I was installing the harness today I found the plug that I was told wasn't there on 90-92s tucked away in the corner! So now I don't have to try and wire it in from the fuse box, I just had to connect the plug back to the harness.

I figured I'd post this to help anyone who is also adding factory power accessories.

 

hey compuwiz was it a hard install im thinking of doing the same thing but am alittle intimidated about the whole mess how did you attach the power window motor and actuater? TIA

I had a nice reply all wrote up and then my damn computer overheated. The gest of it was that it isn't too terribly difficult. I haven't gotten the windows done yet, but I can tell just by looking at it that it'll be a pain in the *** to swap the regulators. The best way to do it is to get the wiring installed first then do the mirrors and locks since those are simple. This is a good site to check out: 1982-1992 Pontiac FireBird and Chevrolet Camaro Projects . I don't remember whose it is, but they have a lot of great info there to help you with the power window install.
