Adding Power Windows, Power Locks and Mirrors to my bare bones F-250 regular cab SD. Power windows are the cheap chinese kit purchased on Amazon/Ebay for about $50. Power locks are cheap chinese for $12 from Ebay, Power mirrors are factory Ford from a scrap yard. Got the power window, power lock and power mirror installed in the passenger side door today, verified operation of them, then ran wires into cab. All went very easy! Will make the same install in the driver door in next day or two. Then hook all the wires up, . (Will be using a Power Mirror switch from a Ford Focus. Power Lock switches will be off the shelf DPDT. Will post progress/results here!

 

Would you post a video of those in action? Looks like it might be easier than using factory parts.

 

Will post a YouTube video URL of the Power Window Kit in action as soon as I get 'em wired in. Am using the common window kit you can find all over Ebay, using jumper wires today it goes up/down surprisingly fast. The motor torque is not all that great, I had to silicone lube the rails and old crank window linkage to enable them to fully raise/lower. But this PW system fits perfectly in out SD trucks, much easier than removing the old crank regulator and installing Ford factory power window regulaor in door. (A plus with this style system is that if the electric stuff fails you can easily reinstall your crank and drive truck around until repair to electric system can be organized.)
In the mean time I have also created a FrankenTruck page, URL in my signature, will be adding info there as time goes forward.

 

Shot a video of the chinese Power Window adapter in action today, posted to YouTube, . Window moves pretty fast, had to use a direct to battery with 30 amp fuse, tried using the Accessory Power Point but its 20 amp fuse kept blowing. Pulled the dash off to make it easy to pull wires over from Passenger side. Also pulled the instrument cluster and replaced a bunch of #74 and #194 bulbs . As well as adjusted out the Shift Indicator while I had it apart.

 

All buttoned up. Power Windows, Locks and Mirrors all working great! (will be installing some black covers over the crank holes later)
