85841, Power window swap pissing me off.
Posted by a_miller_76, Jun-05-05 06:02 AM


Okay, yes I've searched and most of what I came up with was aftermarket stuff which I'm not interested in. I bought the power locks, windows, mirrors, and door panels from a member here. Here's my problem:

I have all the stuff in the doors, the locks work but the windows don't.


Now through my searching I knew before I got the stuff that I needed the two relays under the radio to the right. Am I missing a control box somewhere or something that I didn't know about?


I have checked:

Fuses under dash.
Fuses under hood.
Both window motors (12v drill battery, they work fine)

Don't give me obvious answers like "Did you get the door harness?" because i'm not an idiot. This is driving me nuts!

See that's what I'm looking for, I have no idea what that is man. I got the two relays under the radio which I assumed by searching was all I needed. Do you have a picture of this relay?

YES you need two (2) relays for both the power locks and windows to work, one for each. They are different from eachother I beleive (i did the swap too). So ONE goes behind the radio and it only fits in ONE place. Next, there is, as illustrated abouve, a second place for the window relay. Its pretty much a pain in the ass to get to but its up in your dash by the steering colomn and its made of white plastic. I didnt have the picture above so i shoved it up in each slot one by one till my windows worked.
