That van looks great! | | | Re: Converting to Power windows on Phoenix | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 3,473 Likes: 1 pooh-bah | | OP pooh-bah Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 3,473 Likes: 1 | That whole thread is pictured in detail, you just have to look it up and see what I did . I am sure I just used the wire loom conduit tube and ran it through the cap plugs in the door and body. I am sure there are pix showing it. I can take some more if you want me to. Just let me know , Happy to help.

The wire loom stuff just was too easy and time was short. Joe (J&J Fiberglass) gave me two sets of multi contact door contacts to use but I never did . Probably should have but, like I said,... time...! Check the thread out It does have a step by step install on those window lifts

I forget, actually I got on line to bypass summit on the electric life and that's where A-1 showed up as the parent company or something like that but I did catch them on sale for half price so I got both sides and the switches for 150 bucks or somewhere in the ballpark.
