Manual to power windows!, Workthread, step by step etc Options

Hey there!

Got a ST without power windows, and yeah, its really lame at these days. Its really embarassing to manually slide the windows down, so I have always been thinking of a conversion!

So this is the time, finally. I got my hands on some really nice JDM 93/94 celica doors, with everything. Power windows, power locks, power folding mirrors etc. So I'll got everything I need now, so its basicly to just swap the old ones into these!

But I'll got a European ST, which is LHD. The doors came from a RHD JDM. So its some tweaking with wires.

Basicly I have to do this:

1. Unplug the harnesses from the JDM doors
2. Swith harnesses from side to side (left side goes to right side, and vice versa)
3. Switch panels the same way
4. Switch locks from the original car
5. Unhatch the original doors
6. Mount the new doors
7. Plug in the harness to the car

And this is without ANY problems or trouble. I dont expect it to be as easy as the list, though.

So, the first day I made progress came!

Unhooked the harness from the JDM doors, and tried to plug it into my car. Both of the plugs fitted, and one of them(the smallest one) had a perfect match to the car! The colors of the wires matched perfectly.

I have checked all the wires, and know that this plug that matched perfectly, is mostly to the power windows. I tried to connect the master switch, and measured the voltage on the connector to the power windows. And YEAH! It came voltage when I used the right button!

So, strange enough, no modification seems to be needed at the power windows point.


Then I need to sort out the power folding mirrors, mirror control and the power lock. Any help will of course be appreciated!
