Manual to Power Windows/Locks Conversion, REALLY CLOSE NOW! Need help, see pg 5 Options

[GriffGirl]

I will be undertaking my manual to power windows and locks conversion soon! yay! So in preparation for it, if anyone has a wild hair and is willing to take some pictures of their power setup for me, I would very much appreciate it. Here's what I need:

- pix of behind the door panel so I can see where the rail, motor and lock actuator bolt on
- pix of how the wiring harness is run along that same inside part of the door, up to where the rubber thingie goes into the panel by the door hinge
- pix or description of where the harness comes out after run into the above mentioned panel
- if possible, pix of where the other end of the wiring harness connects to. (back of fuse box under kickpanel?) If pix are too difficult, a description of where this thing goes would be great!
- pix of the door lock relay. I know it's somewhere under the dash, down by the gas pedal. That's all I know. Same goes - if pix are too difficult, a description of what this plugs into.

I'm visually oriented, so please use "landmarks" in any descriptions, and colors, i.e. "next to the gas pedal, above the hump and near the white connector" or whatever.

Thanks so much! I'll follow up with a how-to w/photos when I do the conversion.

If you'd want to swap the whole door out, I guess you could, although you'd still have to run the door harness into the interior through the A pillar. I myself didn't find it difficult at all to just swap out the manual window crank and rail with the power window rail and door card. Whatever you think is easier though; it's a matter of personal preference.

So I found out that ALL THIS TIME my door switch has been bad, which is why I've been stuck on this for SO long. I could just kick myself for not even thinking of that. Anyway, I've got a new master switch on its way to me and am SERIOUSLY hoping to wrap this up REALLY SOON since the rain "season" is going to start soon. (is it a season if it lasts for like 8 months?)

Anyway once you swap the door out or however you're going to do it, you still need to figure out a way to power it all, since the stock dash harness will not have the required plug-in in JB1 for the part of the door harness that controls the locks and window. You'll also need to reroute your side mirror wiring if you have power side mirrors (they all do, don't they?) since the master switch on the d/s door has the switch to operate the side view mirrors as well.

Updates, photos, and everything I know will follow as soon as I have it. I PROMISE.
