I'm a moron so my other topic said "Power to Manual".... anyways...

I'm possibly buying both sets of lock motors, both sets of window motors, door harnesses, and the interior door panels with switches for a power window and lock conversion. All this is coming out of a 93 EX, and I have a 94 DX Coupe. Is that all I need to do a total power conversion? Or is there something missing that I still need?

You need the power lock control box (i don't know what it's called), but thats only if it wasn't included in your harness.

Alright I only have a Chiltons book, and it says theres a power door lock actuator... but doesnt say how or where you run the wiring for the power windows...

I have a power window/lock control module from a 97 del sol if you're interested.

first get the wirring diagram from the back of your chiltons
then get the parts you you mentioned above (harnesses (actuator is used for power locks), switches, motors, panels)
spred all out on table and cut away unused wires from harness
connect all wires to car and your done
I have instructions (made my own) from my power window conversion on my 97 CX last week end but can not post pics B/C we-todd is not working right now
I deffinatley recomend this mod!
oh and make sure to grease rails wile they are out

euclid

how much weight can you expect to put on from converting to power windows?

gleinz

so basically if a guy pulls everything from his 93 ex, it should all just go right into my 94 dx?

would like to know too!

I was told you need the interior wiring harness that runs down the drivers side of the car under the carpet for it to be easier...but what if you don't have that?? I guess some diy wiring eh?!

euclid

i am under the impression that all cars, manual or fully power, have the same wiring and all you need to do for a power conversion in a manual car is get the proper hardware, but i dont know for sure.

gleinz

up for anyone with experience with this who can help!

heres what u need. power window door pannels, the stock switches that fit into the door pannel and somethign called a Spawl Universal Window Kit. u can find it on Ebay for 90 bucks and they work great.

gleinz

first of all, i think you mean "Spal" not "Spawl", second of all if you read this post I'm getting the motors for a 93 ex and basically asking if i need anything else to do a conversion in a 94 dx coupe. but thanks anyway.

DR. ON POINT

My fault, yes I meant Spal...... if using the stock window motors u are going to need the wholie interior wiring harness the window boxes or whatever they are called the pannels, motors and a bunch of other ****......its really a pain int eh ***....just get the Spal kit and save urself the time

gleinz

Why is it such a pain in the ***? Wouldn't it be easier using the OEM stuff instead of a universal kit?

gleinz

up again

gleinz

and again

DR. ON POINT

When using the OEM stuff u have to rip out ur entire interior to run the wiring harness

euclid

ol dirty bastard brooklllyyyn zoo

where does the oem harness plug into, the dash, or the wires inside the door?

I was wondering how to do this myself. I wanted to do that to my Cx.

gleinz
