switch wiring help !!!

ok heres what im starting with.. i have a 88 vert, all wiring is replaced with painless harness, i have a 4th gen dash and window/lock switches. the only wires painless gives for windows/locks and a power wire
my questions are...how would i wire up a 4th gen switch?? the window switches have 5 or 6 wires coming out. do i need to hook up relays for the switches/locks?? would i go off a 4th gen wire diagram??
ive seen ppl do the headlight switch wiring but they dont use all the 4th gen wires and i dont have the 3rd gen wires to splice

any help would greatly be appreciated !!!!!!!

Re: switch wiring help !!!

I've not really dug into my 93 yet so this is a guess...

I would imagine the power window switches work the same as the 3rdgen. I used ford contour switches in my bird. The only thing that was different for those was an extra wire for the LED that turnd on with the gauge lights.

Here's a diagram to give you an idea of the window circuit...

Ha, shows how well I pay attention though, in defence, I've only been in my '93 a handfull of times.

Here's a 4thgen (93-95) diagram to compare, if that does you any good...

Re: switch wiring help !!!

It is a pretty crappy diagram. I stole it from Autozones website. I'd offer some more help but, I'm way to tired to be staring at diagrams right now. One decade, I'll need a real manual myself for the 4thgen as it's going to be kind of... spliced into the '71 I have.
