Installed A1 Power Windows
I just finished installing a set of A1 Power Windows on a 2008 F150XL. Installation went well. I removed the OEM manual Ford regulators and bolted on the new A1 Power regulators. Installed the switches (surfaced mounted on door panels) ran the wire Everything works fine. I had already installed the A1 Power Locks a few months ago.

Cool! I'm proud of you for doing it yourself! Good job! I installed power door locks in my 01 Ranger right after I bought it. Only problem I ran into was, if they weren't together (both locked or unlocked) they wouldn't work. Took me at least an hour of head scratching to figure it out, then I felt really stupid! Waaay back in the day, I stripped out a 1973 Cougar XR-7 and put the power windows and door locks in my 1972 Mustang convertible. That took about a week and a half!

The A1 Electric Installation Instructions for both the power locks and windows are not user friendly. I am a Electrician by trade and it was difficult following their instructions. I smoked the control module for the power locks and had to reorder. They were nice and sent me another one without charge.
