Need power window/door lock install help.

[wheel1856]

So I go to the recycler today to get some interior panelling for some interior work (to avoid f-ing up my stock ones). and I cant find a set of DX or less door panels. but I do find some 94 EX coupe door panels with everything on em...so I get to thinkin.

I wanna take out the power door locks and the power window assembly from the 94 EX coupe (all the fixens: switches, latches, motors, wires, window regulators, and door panels, I already have those high mount speakers from my last honda) and put it into my 92 VX hatch.

Questions: 1. Can it be done ( I think so, just wanna check, make sure the door panel will fit)
2. Anyone have a wiring diagram better (easier to follow) than the haynes manual?
3. Anyone have install directions? Haynes manual doesn't give install directions for the motors, relays, and regulators.

any of that stuff would be great. dontcha just hate how once you get started you keep snowballing into more and more per project. ugh.

thanks all

everything from the EX will fit right in with no modification, My friend did it in his CX and I did it in my Si. The wiring gets a little tricky, but it is not hard. just get all the wiring from the door and the door boot, the rubber tube between the door and the car. get the door panels and all the switches too.

check.
check.
and check.

I got all the switches, wiring harnesses, and the top and bottom ends of the boots. however, wiring was a mutha! the Haynes manual just wasnt cuttin the mustard, the diagrams were for a "typical civic" and didn't color match too well. also, the ex coupe doors aparently have a different shape to the inside, because the hardest part was getting the harnesses and boots plugged into the door, and have the door close, on my VX.

and word to the wise, should anyone look into a similar conversion, the power window and power mirror hot wires are the same color, yellow wire red stripe. and no diagram that I found differentiated the two as to which plug in the harness they come from. so I spliced em, as I went without the power mirrors.

either way, final rating, tough job, a 4 on a scale of 5 in difficulty, 3 of 5 on time consumption, and witht the junkyard price I got ($240 for EVERYTHING, panels, switches, motors, wires, harnesses, bolts, ) 2 of 5 as far as being expensive. (the lower the better on the price scale)

is it worth doing yourself? yep. plus its cool to have a VX with OEM power windows and locks, pretty trippy. sorry no pics. but not much to take pics of except before and after pictures, and I think we all know what the inside of a civic looks like.
