Converting to electric windows...

[Ozzieborne]

Can it be done?

Is it hard to do?

Any advice?

I really want to do it! lol

It isnt that hard mate if you are good with electrics. Bailey on here is selling a kit mate

[Ozzieborne]

ah cool, ill give him a PM

Anyone know any sites with how to guides on this?

[Saxo-Slag]

It pretty easy mate. I think that kit comes with instructions as well

I'd also be interested in how this is done. ive got the switches and mirrors in my loft, i just need to know how to wire them up!

i think the guy wanted his windows to go up and down

electric mirrors are a different kettle of fish




Just go to a scrappy and pull off a door card and remove everything linking from the motor back to the buttons by the gear stick.

then its a case of popping it in your motor

lol doh, i read it as electric mirrors, sorry!

[Ozzieborne]

back to electric windows.... lol

I was thinkin of gettin the electric window fing off of a car in the breakers.

Bad idea?

heres a list of what you'll need:


1X DRIVERS WINDOW MOTOR AND MECHANISM

1X PASSENGER WINDOW MOTOR MECHANISM

A PAIR OF DOOR WIRING LOOMS TO POWER THE MOTORS

CENTRE CONSOLE WITH A PAIR OF ELECTRIC WINDOW SWITCHES

thats all as far as im aware

hope it helps

fitting is easy if your not confident get someone to do it for you, its relatively straight forward though :) done it to my 1.1

[Ozzieborne]

Ah, kool, i might be taking the mick, but dya reckon ya could give me some basic instructions on how to do it, coz i have no idea.

The switches go in the middle, between the 2 seats right? The sum wiring and a plug fing underneath, is that needed?

What about the door side of things, where does the electricity come from?

Sorry if i seem a bit dumb...lol

u need to pull the carpet back from under dash an remove old centre console with a torx screw then run the wires to the centre console where u will have the electric window switches run the cable from the switches under the carpet to the side near the doors and up throught the rubbers where other wires live your speaker wire and central locking goes through(if you have it) into the door this will power the motors, might be best to get all the stuff of ebay i listed from scrap yard or ebay, then get someone to fit it, as you need some knowledge of electrics and how to take it all outta the cars and put in yours wont cost much to do it at a garage...

hope this helps

[Ozzieborne]
