Let me know how this works out? My windows and locks are manual and I would love to hear that it's easy to convert.

if you change it to power you may as well change the stupid window motor beforehand. since they like to be crappy and stuff.

well im showing 6 different across dash harnesses and two do not go with electric windows so im thinking you would have to change that harness to get power to the passenger side. either that or it may be easier to wire power to the switches and an across the dash wire yourself. you know the manual windows are more reliable and lighter than electric.

Yeah I know. This door already has it though. It has a brand new window motor so eh, might as well use it.

Update. I went to get the door and the seat. Not only did I get that, but I also grabbed his passenger seat for a back up and the rest of his interior. I mean the ENTIRE interior. Carpet, every bit of plastic paneling, both front seats, both door panels, etc. I didn't get the back seats because mine are perfect as it is. The dash was gone so I wasn't able to get that either. The color on the door matches my car perfectly. Sun faded and everything: SCORE!!! Another note, he had a K&N CAI that was only 2 months old. He threw that in too! CAI FTMFW!!! All in all, I walked out of there with an entire interior, a very very nice door, and a K&N CAI all for $325!!!

So here's the bad news. He didn't have the car. He only had the whole interior out of the car. He scrapped the car already. So I wasn't able to get under the dash to see if there was wiring that I could snag. Also he got lazy and instead of unhooking the wiring harness for the windows and locks, he just cut the wires at the outside of the door. So I'll have to go to a junk yard to get all the wiring for the door.

Still a very good steal. The CAI alone was worth $250. I got everything for $325! Haha

I have a favor to ask of someone. Anyone who has a 1993-1996 Camaro with power windows and locks, please remove your driver's side kick panel and see where the wires coming out of the door go to. Pics would be amazing if possible. First person to get this info and/or the pictures for me will get a cookie
