how much do yall think it would cost to switch my manual windows and locks and mirrors to power??

any ideas for new door skins and what all would i need?

 

I got my local Audio Radio to do my door locks for $212.xx that's both doors and with installation!!!

 

I did aftermarket power locks, keyless entry, and power windows for $152 including shipping. I bought better looking switches and had to add a couple relays that didnt come with the kits so add a little more to that. You dont need new door skins, you can mount switches into the door handle bezels if you want. Also as long as you dont mind a black plug in your old crank hole that's it. Those plugs really dont look that bad either. Very shortly I be posting a thread of the install so maybe it can help someone out. For power mirrors I would never really need them.

 

There's also a local truck accessories place here that will do power locks and keyless entry for $50 per door. But if I went that way my windows wouldnt roll up when I lock my doors with the remote. ( I think that's nifty lol)

 

could you give me the web site were you ordered your kit from cuz im gonna get on it realy soon and a plug in the door does not bother me at all =) id just use them until i found a old totaled explorer or ranger at the junk yard that had power ect... and use them door skins

 

i am in the process of doing factory swap right now.. good stuff should be insteresting

 

My girfriend actually got everything for me for christmas from emiata.com and everything works fine. If you're going to get different switches you need a few relays for the power windows because all the 5 terminal rest at ground switches are big and fugly. A couple diodes too if you want to be able to roll the windows up by remote. I have a few pics if you dont want to wait for my write up.

 

show some pics =)))))) im definitaly leaning towards power windows an locks after i finish my lift and tint my windows

 

Here's the article I looked at for the locks:

And here's a few pics i took, I still have to take more and I apologize they were taken with my phone and shaky hands. But you get the idea:

Here's the window kit mechanical components installed:



The beginning of the wire mess:



Wiring cleaned up a little bit:



The 4 relays for the windows mounted:



There's also 2 relays for the locks, the keyless entry box, and another relay to change polarity for the parking lamp blinking.

Door wiring a little cleaned up:



The diodes between the keyless entry window up channel and the window relays:



The shield put back on the door:



And the passenger switches in the door panel:



That's all i got for now, need to take more pictures and I'm waiting for my new door panels, upgrading to xlt panels. When I get it all finished up I'll take better picks and do a more detailed write up.

 

ya i like it a good bit of wiring.. but heck its worth it. i got xlt panels if i find power window panels for my truck ill ship mine to you for free you just have to pay shipping they are the tan interior

 

No thanks on the door panes, already got some on the way.

 

ok thanks for the info when ever i get down to ordering me a kit ill hit you up and you can give me some tips so this wont be so heart breaking for me ha

 

One tip right away, when you take your door panels off put them inside somewhere safe. I left mine in the bed of my truck in a plastic bag for a couple days and they melted/deformed, hence the main reason for new xlt upgrade.

 

eeeee ya that doesnt sound all to good to me... melting an deformed door panels arnt realy in my future mod.... so ya thanks ha

 

I did this modification to my 2005 XLT. It was some intensive wiring, as I used the factory power door panels and bezels. It's a little harder to wire it up using factory switches and harnesses just because you have to use a factory wiring diagram and pin out. But it was well worth the factory look. As for keyless entry, I used to some aftermarket cheapo kit that worked fine. I never got around to wiring it up using relays to the factory door look lock switch, I just always used my remote.
