Wireless windows

I have a 1992 f150 single cab. It currently has power windows and locks. My door panels are in pretty terrible shape and I was wanting to make a door card out of sheet plastic. With power windows I have run out of room for the switches and locks. My question is can I buy a cheap wireless motor controller and hook it directly to the two wires for the window motor. Obviously I’ll need to put a fuse somewhere inline unless there is one I don’t know about. Not having power locks doesn’t bother me as they don’t work anyway. Does anyone more electrically inclined have a good opinion on how to start this project. I’ll do some shopping and post links to motor controllers I want to use. Thanks for any input.

Option one:
https://a.co/d/ce2HlaO
i would like to wire into the original switch harness if possible


option two: https://a.co/d/4jej1Qw
this one I can pretty much only wire into the power line of the motor, correct?

The links only work if you copy and paste into a new tab. I’m not sure what happened but I’m sorry about it.

I take it you tried the JY and they didn't have any doors? I hate being that guy but you will save yourself a lot of frustration and labor just getting another door panel.

I haven’t looked in and junkyards or anything but I’m wanting something a little different from everyone else. Plus a decent priced door panel is still going to cost me about $150 a pop and with my my plastic door card I’ve already made it’s going to cost about $20 a side plus the electronics. So about $50 or so a side.

Different can be good but not at the expense of complexity. The local “u-pull” yard lists a door panel at $28.
