XL power window wiring
I just bought a 2010 XL F-150 with really low miles and I’m going to be replacing the door panels so I can have power windows. I cannot find any information online about this, so before I take my door panel apart, does anyone know the answer to this. Is there wiring for power windows in a XL F-150 or will I need to buy a new wiring harness? I will be buying a used door panel with the motor and all needed accessories.

I have an '09 XL I bought new.. the quick answer: NO, the XL does not come with the wiring harness for power windows etc in the doors... You can but them from Ford or a junk yard maybe..
What I did was buy the compatible connector (for the mirrors) and made my own harnesses, then I added extendable, power, heated trailer towing mirrors w/ turn signals and puddle lamps.
I tapped into the factory "points" for the correct power.. (note: I have the shop manual and wiring diagram for my '09)
Also note (in your case) you'll have to install window regulators, I never looked into it, but I assume the attachment points are there.

Hey been bashing my head against the wall on this issue. I grabbed some doors from a junk yard and have some power mirrors. I can get the mirrors to do stuff via poking the wiring connector with a battery and needles but the door I am trying to steal the wiring harness out of has the window down and I have not been able to get it to move.
I fully expect to make my own wiring harness. Do you mind sharing what you did with some reference diagrams...they say pictures are worth a thousand words....

If you direct message that poster, maybe he gets an email and gets back to you. Otherwise, he hasn’t been around since last year.
That aside, the window motor may just be shot sitting in the elements all this time-if it wasn’t already bad.

You can find wiring diagrams in the website. Loom under Repair and Diagnosis.... Diagrams

Power window wiring on older Fords uses switches only. Newer Fords have modules in each door controlled by a Body Control Module
