ok...i wrecked my '86 t/a, and it had all power options....
i picked up an '85 t/a, but it has no power options. no power trunk release, no power locks, no power windows....
is it possible to take all of these units out of the '86 and just plug them into the '85?
are all of the wiring harnesses there, but with no motors or relays?
i'm trying to find this out quick, because if it's too much of a hassle, i'm scrapping it all and going 2nd gen.

thanks

Yes it can be done but, (IMO) it might be easier to take the fuse panel & all related wiring from the 86 & put in the 85.

door lock & window electric harnesses are not in the car unless the car came from factory with electric windows & locks. hatch release design was changed some time around 85', i'm not sure if your 86' hatch release setup will work with your 85' without modification.

power door lock & power window circuits are seperate from rest of dash harness but do run inside the same looming in the some places. remove the top dash pad, kick panels, under dash & door panels from your donor if you want to get the entire power lock & power window harnesses in one peice.
