So, I'm going to be doing a "door rodeo" shortly and I was wondering if you guys had done some of this before I just tear into everything.
I have a 91 D-150 donor truck with good doors and crank windows, those doors are going on my son's 89 D-250 with power windows. The 89's doors are rust free but have some damage.
I need the power window stuff off of those 89 doors for my 92 D-350 that has non working power windows. I want to save all of the cables and motors and switches etc when I take the doors off of the 89 in case the 92 needs any of it. The 92 is still in Knoxville for another week so I don't know why the windows don't work, just that they don't. With both windows not working, it seems more likely that it's a fuse or electrical problems but I want to be prepared with whatever it needs and I'll stash the power window stuff if I don't need it now.
Looking at the manual, it appears that the harness for the power windows terminates somewhere behind the dash, maybe by the HVAC and radio unit. Assuming I can find these plugs, can I get the harness out of the body to remove the doors without taking the dash out?
I see a reference to a "splice" somewhere in the harness right at the door but I'd rather just take the whole harness out.
Anybody done this before and have an idea on whether it's possible to get those harnesses out without pulling the dash?
TIA
Joe
