Power windows

Anybody switched from manual to power windows? I have a 91 Si hatch. Would I have to trade out the entire door or just the mechanism and cover?:confused:

Thanks

Depends on what you're going for....

If you want to do it the RIGHT way, you need the entire wire harness, and proper door panels. Also, make sure the window glass and modulators are the right ones. I know alot of people on ebay are trying to pass off "power windows" from other cars like accords.

Mind you, the jdm panels have the master switch on the right side, so if you want to have the master switch on the left, you need Edm Panels (UK spec). Or, you can just do custom setup.

If your conversion doesn't include wiring, you can get a 88-91 Civic 4 door Ex cabin harness. This will be much better than hacking up you existing wiring, plus it plugs right in with everything else, including the fuse box.

If you want to do the coversion properly, Its a lot more labor intensive than everyone thinks.

Thanks, I figured it was going to be a pain. Now I have to figure out if it is worth it.

I can get the entire setup as it was standard on all our 4th gens, but switches will be wrong unless you flip them upside down or find the LHD EDM cars.

i havent tried it but as soon as a i get some free time i shall be attempting it. ill try write a how to if anyones interested...

plus you said he needs EDM door panels (ukspec) but you really mean NOT UKspec...

I did the power units from the front of a 4-door. I made my own harness and relay set up, and used aftermarket switches.
To make the 4-door units work you will need to change out the sliders.

There is a universal kit includes all switches, relays, wires and everything that u need... it only took me 1hr to put it in :D
I love my power windows!

silver89civic, where can you get the universal kit?

k i have power windows in my crx but the master switch wont work for the passenger side, can anyone help me on this one

check to see if you have blue wire w/black stripe in the master switch.
if you do that is the power feed for the passenger switch. there might be two of them. it would be the smaller guage wire.
make sure it has power when you turn the key on.
