56348, Installed power doors, nothing works Posted by lickscissors, Sep-01-03 05:21 AM
I just recently installed power doors out of a TSI....i have the plugs that plug into the wiring harness out of the door...i also have the fuses for power windows and locks, but nothings working but the power mirrors...before i go tracing every wire to find out what im missing i figured id ask you guys cause im sure someone has experienced this....is there just a plug that needs plugged in, or a relay somewhere hidden?.... thanks doug

Yep, i did the same thing, there's like 5 relays that go behind the radio i guess, thats what i was told. I am yet to find any of these so i had to put my others back on until i find them. Good luck.

If you look under the dash where the wiring comes from the door, you'll notice that the wires split, the speaker wires go seperate and the window and lock wires go to a white plug thats not plugged into anything, thats what you need, the relays go behind the radio and they plug into those white plugs on each side under the dash.

yeah, the wires are run, but that dosent mean there is power to them, or that they are connected. youll need those relays

The relays aren't in your car, you have to take them out of a car that has power options already and then plug them into the wiring harness that goes into the door.

ok....so far ive found the power relay for the door locks, that was behind the stereo....i looked at a car with power options and it only has that relay back there.... the only other differences were the relays under the steering wheel....theyre on this little white piece of plastic bolted up right under the steering wheel.... what are those for and is there plugs to plug into it

sorry i cant help but i wanted to ask you if you could do a write up on this when you get it to work. (parts, prices, installation, etc.) I'd really like to do this if i could find some doors that match my car.

Crap I just bought power doors to, putting them on in a couple weeks, you will definately be talking to me. Hope you got it all figured out by then. So what were you doing? Did you have maual mirrors/locks and just put on power door? which of the harnesses were already in your car? like was the one there that goes through the rubber boot from the doors harnes to the one in the hinge pillar? One of the switch harnesses on my new doors in cut off completely and missing is anyone selling it? I know I cant continue without it.

ok...ive figured everything out and it was actually very simple..... tried this a while ago, but for some reason it didnt work....anyways if you have the harness in the body of the car (where the harness and boot connect from the door)and the fuse in the engine bay (30A pw fuse) and there should be a 10A fuse in the fuse box in the car. Now the only things you need are 2 relays....one is under the steering wheel...its the same one that the horn uses (i took it out of my horn because my horn doesnt work anyways) connect that and you'll have power windows....now the door lock relay is behind the stereo, you should see a little wiring harness for it.... you need to get this relay out of a dsm with the power locks...i got mine for $5 today.... the power mirrors worked without anything else.... hope that helps
