  • PW motor install

    My bro has a couple spare PW motors and said he would give them to me. Is the wiring already in the doors or do I need to wire the motors to the switchs to the fuses?

    Can I "simply" bolt, plug, and play...Though nothing is ever as simple as it my seem on this car, but I still love her.

      No, but I was told that the wires should be there. The tracks are the same and the holes should be there. I just would like to avoid having to wire my own wiring if I could help it.

        Why not just pull your door apart and see if the wiring and all for the switches is there? If it is, I'm sure the wire for the motor would be there as well. Just pop off the peice where the switches go by grabbing and pulling. Look down and see if you see the wires, if not you may have some wiring to do, or they may be hidden.

          No, the wires arent there.

          another user from the forum did this as well, and he had to get the wiring harness for the windows and locks.

          He got everything from a junk yard IIRC..

          Ive also had my door panels off and been inside many times, I can confirm the wires arent there.

          Easiest way to check, open your door, pull the little rubber boot that is in the door jamb off, on one side and see if theres a group of wires.

          If you have manual windows/locks there should only be two wires going through there ( speaker wires ).

            that wierd that the wire are not there, maybe there stuffed in the dash somewhere. Kindof like the power seats, if you got manual seat the wires are there to hook up a power seat.

              No, there not in the dash. I've had the bottom of the dash apart many times and never seen extra wires. I guess I'll have to wire it up my self thanks guys.

                If you go with the factory power window motors, chances are you will need the harness that belongs in the car.

                Also, im not sure if anyone on this board has any experience with aftermarket PW motors, but they arent very good at all ( on small windows ) I cant imagine them on the big heavy F-body windows.

                They need to be oiled often, and arent very strong... slow etc...
