im making a junkyard soon to replace my mirror. and was thinking of picking up the parts to do the power windows. what year should i pull the parts from. also how do i go about making power locks is it a lot more complicated than windows? the how to dosent go over it. thanks for any help.

 

Get the parts from as close to your truck as possible, my truck is an 03 and I found an 02, Lucky.
If you want everything to work as OEM then you need the GEM and other parts that I am not qualified to list.

There is a great How-To about using OEM parts but wiring them separate from the OEM Harness.
You get all of the OEM wiring you can from the donor truck but hook up a separate hot and grounds.

Cory wrote a great How-To, kudos…
IF I can ever get my shop cleared (lazy) I will be following the above writeup.

 

ok so my only option is the same gen as mine. has anyone done this with a third gen. are the colors of the wires the same.

 

Might as well do the mirrors too

 

i put oem power windows in my 95. used 97 regulators. but i didn't wire mine into the factory switches. i ended up putting some older toyota switches in the center console.

 

Can you apply the How-To posted above to your truck ?

Wiring may be the same...
