how did you do the conversion? complete wire harness?

do both windows pop fuses, or just one side?

what do you mean "leave the ground removed" ?

i used standard civic ex door harnesses and i took the harness from the inside from the fuse panel. the only fuse that is popping is the drivers side fuse and it only does it when i have the switch plugged in.

was what you did plug and play? or did you splice some wires?

I did a splice job on my car within the last month, so it is somewhat fresh in my mind.

wait there is a fuse for each window???because mine doesnt even go down, and i dont have the fuse diagram for the in dash fuse panel so i thought it was the regulator or the switch because my passenger side window goes down...in my 96 ex coupe...

i used the door harnesses off of a ex
i used the under the dash harness on of a ex
and i just spliced it into the floor harness in my car

the power mirrors work but the windows keep blowing a fuse, i think its cause i have a bad switch im going to try and replace the switch and see if that fixes it
