if you already have power windows then don't bother with trying to keep it all oem.just grab the power mirrors,the switch on the door with power mirror option and run your own wires.you can find a hot line to tap at the power window switch.don't over complicate it or you'll be forever and or just give up.yeah fishing wires through the door's and up under the dash is time consumer,but it's not horrendous.

That harness for the cab is separate from the dashboard harness, BUT you need to remove the dash to get it out. It is JUST below the windshield

It was my understanding that there is a connector for the driver side door harness in the driver side kick panel. I know my truck has one, I used it to guide my new speaker wire into the door from the cab...

I'm gonna say you have a lot more experience at this than I do Brad. I think I will trace that plug in the kick panel and figure out what it goes to...

YES, you need the power window harness WITH the power mirror option. NOT ALL POWER WINDOW HARNESSES HAVE THE POWER MIRROR HARNESS BUILT IN
