Ok so use this chart if you DONT WANT TO use the Floor harness!! Since monicle's site is down alot lately I thought I would post this up.. for all those people wanting to tackle this (Monicle if you want me to take this off let me know.. I saved it to my computer one day just in case lol)

================================================== ===
This is my setup:
(All parts are from a 99-00 Si)
- Power Window Regulators (Should be the same for years 96-00)
- Door Harness (96-00 harnesses have the SAME COLOR WIRES)
- Door Panels (Should be the same for years 96-00.. Color may differ)
================================================== ===
================================================== ===

if you DONT care about using the driver side to control the passenger side here is what you have to do: (again this is courtesy of monicle via old posts)
Driver Side (all wires come directly out of the plug connecting to the switch):
- Power -> Blue/Black Wire
- Ground -> 2 Black Wires
Passenger Side (all wires come directly out of the plug connecting to the switch):
- Power -> Green/Black Wire
- Ground -> Blue/Yellow and Blue/Orange Wire

note: I would do this first before connecting driver side to passenger side and running/hiding all the wires to make sure the regulators work. This will save u some time from trying to diagnose a wiring problem when in fact it is the regulators that are busted.
================================================== ===
================================================== ===

If you DO care about using the driver side to control the passenger side here is what you have to do:
Driver Side (all wires come directly out of the plug connecting to the switch):
- Power -> Blue/Black Wire
- Ground -> 2 Black Wires
Passenger Side (all wires come directly out of the plug connecting to the switch):
- Power -> Green/Black Wire

- Connect the Blue/Yellow and Blue/Orange Wire from the driver side switch to the passenger side switch.
- Connect the Green/Black wire from Driver side to Passenger side (So the passenger side Green/Black wire is connected to the power source AND the driver side door)

================================================== ===
some notes:
- MAKE SURE YOU GROUND THE WIRES GOOD (I was having problems because I did not have a good Ground!!! I ended up grounding the 2 black wires to the screws that hold the regulator in)
- per Monicle use a 20 amp fuse if you connect directly to the battery (this is how I did it the first time.. only problem is that the power windows will ALWAYS work. So you might want to get power from something else that turns on when the key is on.. I redid my wiring and connected all wires that needed power to the cigarette lighter (white wire) I also changed the fuse under the dash for the cigarette lighter to a 20 amp fuse(it is the 5th fuse from the left on the top row). I had the 10 amp fuse in there but the fuse blew.. I Have had the 20 amp fuse in for a week and its ok)

================================================== ===

(for those of you who say.. GET THE FLOOR HARNESS.. please do not comment.. I do not want to spend another 100.00 for this conversion)

BTW, Doing it this way only took me 3 hours for wiring.. just cuz I had to figure out how to get the driver side to control the passenger side.. and I also tried to make the wiring as clean as possible.. plus it was a pain in the a$$ to get the wires from the door to the cabin.. If i did it again, it would probbaly only take me an hour for wiring. So doing it this way saves someone from tearing up the whole car and using the wiring harness.



PLEASE BUMP IF THIS HELPED U!!

I can't help you but good luck with it. FYI - I'm a new proud owner of an GP White EK

 

haha no way! what happened to ur eg?

oh nm i jsut saw ur sig lol ..

 

tttt

 

bump for a man who is doing something that i will probably be doing in the future ^^

 

Not to jack: I was planning on using 96-98 civic ex parts for it as I thought they would be close to the 96 hatch which is what we have.

Whdy did you use SI parts? Just want to make sre before I buy something... I suppose I need door panels as well, right?

I got the SI parts because that was the car i found with the parts.. i asked monicle and he told me that the door harnesses are the same so that part doesnt matter..

yes u will need door panels unless u custom urs now.. but that would be soo ghetto..

monicle is helping me through pm.. I will post anything i find out in this thread..

 

dude my **** still dont work! lol i got them to roll up and down... but i cant get the drivers switches to work the passenger window...

good luck and bump to you!

 

haha seriously?!
At least u got them to work like that!! u got a pic of the wiring u did?! Im still trying to figure out why mine isnt working AT ALL.. lol

 

tttt .. i have time to work on this tonight and need some other ideas.. thanks!

 

mine worked out fine but then again i had the floor harness

btw my pwr locks don't work tho

 

yah i dont want to find a floor harness..

 

so i figured out what it was.. lol

Monicles chart WORKS..

I feel like a dumba$$ admitting this.. but I just didnt ground the wires that well.. this time around i grounded every wire to its own bolt.. and it worked!! WOOHOO!! I got each side to work on its own..

Now I just need to get the driver side to control the passenger side.. haven't tackled that yet.. Ill do that tomorrow since Im too lazy to do it today.. lol .. thanks monicle!!

 

updated the first post for any one who is too lazy to read all the posts lol ... i will continue to update it because I know I still had alot of questions when i started to do the conversion..

 

BUMP ..

I FIGURED OUT how to control passenger side to driver side!! I updated Original post!

 

up

 

Thanks for the info..saved me a ton of time....BUMP

 

no problem

 

good job man, i plan on doing this one day, curious where is monicles site? just wanted to see what the floor harness looked like JUST in case i can pick one up.

 

pm monicle.. he is still on here.. tell him i referred u.. btw.. its alot easier without the harnes.. lol.. but its still up to u..

 

bump.. good info

 

This is why you buy an EX or Si in the first place.

yah but too bad.. the hatches over here in the US didnt have any of the power options!

 

I know, that's why I got rid of my EK hatch. I liked my EX coupe much better. I totalled up the full cost of making the hatch equal to a EX with power options, it was better to move on to new car!

ah.. i c.. well this is for those who have hatches or non ex civics.. i like my hatches better cuz i can fit more stuff in them .. cant fit anything in my s2000 lol..
