Converting from manual to power options.

[Koochologist]

Ok I looked around the site and could not find anything, I was wondering if anyone has ever changed out the manual windows and locks to power ones. I have a DX but I also have a 93 SE parts car. I would like to change everything thing out but from looking at the repair manual and wires I would have to change all the wires out. How hard will this be it?

Ignore cost because like I said I have a parts car so I have everything available. Anyone ever do this?

Not hard, but definitely time consuming. You would have to change out almost all of the wiring harnesses. Also, the blower assembly to utilize the electric hvac controls.

I have time to work on it since its not my daily anymore. I want black or tan interior so I am really considering this. I also found two cb's for parts one is a 91 SE with black interior and the other is a 91 with tan. The parts car I have the leather is all beat up. I will go and buy this today if its possible to do it

Your biggest hurdles are going to be passing an entire door harness through the sleeve that they go through between the door and the body. And then doing it again for the other side. I say do it. It won't be "worth it" at all. But if you finish it you'll have a load of fun and also have a tremendous amount more knowledge of all the power components involved than you did before.

I say to remove the doors, dash, carpet and headliner and just see what you're working with first. I suggested the headliner purely for the vanity mirror, not the sunroof. But you could add a maplight while you're up there. The under dash fuse box along with the cruise control computer and all the other control boxes under there are going to be a major pain as well.

Then again, if you're looking for an easy swap. This is most certainly not it.

I always love a challenge so I think I am going to tackle this and see what happens. I want the black SE dash in my car so that gives me an excuse to look under there and see what's up. There is a guy I know that did it on his CG so I might ask him for help or tips. If I do get this done I might be the first person to do this.

Find a clean CB7 at the junkyard that's as close to what you're trying to "create" as possible. So if you've got a '90-'91 DX coupe with a 5-speed and you're essentially going for an LX, get every single dash harness out of a '90-'91 LX coupe with a 5-speed. There's still likely to be some custom wiring but it's a start.

im in the same vote atm, the thing that was puzzeling me is, do i have to change all wiring from the front of the car right back to the licence plate lights

so if its just removing all the harnesses in the front and what not i have no problem with that at all, be time consuming and a whole lot of patience!
