Thanks guys I appreciate it I'll look tommorow and see what I can do and if I can't figure it out I'll send another post!!

Here's you a pic of the fuse block in my K1500. See the WDO with the pink wire in it at the top of the fuse block? That will be the part of the wiring harness you need to pull from the donor and hopefully that'll lead you to the lock part of the harness too. Then see the little metal box in the fuse space marked PWR WDO. That's the circuit breaker you'll be looking for in your donor truck.

These two systems (pwr locks & windows) are twisted together and have their own seperate wiring harness. The wires for both systems are routed together.

The harness is modular and can be removed in 3 sections (one harness assembly in each door and the under dash harness). Just strip the tape at the connectors and unplug. See the attached diagram (shows a 4 door application - disregard the rear door)

As far as power feeds; there are specific plug-in points on the fuse block for each system. They are both in the same row (4th from the left - top two). The outlets are labeled "W" and the plugs can only fit in those holes.

See the attached fuse block image.

Ground the systems at the main ground block (behind the dash, far left side, up against the wall)

There is a relay mounting panel (and relay) for the locks under the dash attached to the horn relay/buzzer panel. The windows do not have any relays. Windows use a circuit breaker instead of the normal fuse (plugs right into the fuse block like a fuse).

Also see the attached overall schematic.

The biggest headache of this conversion is modifying the doors & cab body to allow the wiring harness to pass through the steel and over to the window regulator motors and lock actuators. The doors have to come off - trust me!

use a old set of my friend door panel with OEM placement hole that help me making a template for power switch location

if you have bad pig tail connector, Dorman and Classic make those repo!

 

[TPISly-C10]

next step will be: new regulator, motor, all the switch need for final ready to swap!

I chose to pass the wire harness through the same hole as the wire of the courtesy light switch inside the cab
