Power window swap

[70 sublime]

Has anybody switched from manual windows to power windows in a 68 69 or 70 Charger ?
I have a chance to pick up a power window set up for my 69 Charger from a 69 Charger

Any pit falls to avoid ?

On a factory power window car is the wiring harness a separate piece or bundled in with everything else ?
Is it worth sorting out or just run new wire to the switches ?

The wires that go into the doors

Are they fed through the door jam into the door or do they come out of the doors through the door post to a plug  in the kick panel ?

Just trying to figure out what I will have to do to re install in my car
Sounds like the guy cut the wires at the door way to take the doors off but says the rear window harness is still intact

See if these pics will help. This is from my 68 with power windows. I'm pretty sure 69 would be the same except the switch bezels and buttons. This is shortly after I got my car. Please excuse the gold over spray all over the wires from PO. There are no holes in the kick panels or rear door panels. Also I do not know what the hole diameter is for the wire harness grommets because mine are still in place. I did find the round cut out plates that the factory left behind in the car when it came down the line. They were nestled at the bottom of the A pillars, interior side. If I find them I could measure the diameter.

sorry dont want to hijack this thread but do they repop the floor wire loom covers

Thanks for the pictures

So all the wires for the passenger side come across under the front seats

Where does the power wire come from for the whole system ? (I will assume it goes into the driver door first)
Does it come from it's own fuse in the fuse block that is switched off and on from the key ?

The complete wire harness for power windows is separate on it's own. The power source comes from the cluster gauge ammeter studs. I'll let the pics below help describe the power window harness orientation. Again this is from a 1968 B Body.

Any questions please ask, I may just know the answer.

Great pictures

Now I know exactly what I will need to find from under the dash

Do factory power windows work with out the key in the car ?

No they do not.

I did this conversion a few months ago but also installed a pair of DEI 530T modules so the windows will work with ignition off by remote and close automatically by locking the power doors and arming the alarm.

The switches will also become one touch with these units like modern cars.

You could bypass the ignition on your car and feed constant current to the power window wiring if you want.

Do you have the wiring? They ask an arm and a leg for these looms so you may want to consider making your own. It's not that hard.

Hi guys,
I'm in the final stages of my resto on my 70 Charger RT SE sunroof car and I'm experiencing some Power Window trouble.  I'm having trouble getting power to the door switches.  When I turn the key on I can hear the power window relay click under the dash but that's it.   The motors are new and run fine off of a booster pack.  The ground on the driver side kick panel from the power window harness is clean and fresh.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   I'm planning to reveal my car at the MCACN car show in November and will also be part of the sunroof display, gotta get this figured out so I can get the seats and door panels in.   Im also using the AR 200 NAPA relay.  I followed the wiring schematic in this thread.

The under dash harness has the 10 gauge red wire that goes to the circuit breaker on the back of the cluster and brown plugs down to the power window harness under the drivers kick panel and the tan/white tracer from the harness goes to the fuse box.  I'm currently jumping that wire from a booster pack.  Thanks again.
