Manual to Power Windows/Locks Conversion, REALLY CLOSE NOW! Need help, see pg 5 Options

[GriffGirl]

I will be undertaking my manual to power windows and locks conversion soon! yay! So in preparation for it, if anyone has a wild hair and is willing to take some pictures of their power setup for me, I would very much appreciate it. Here's what I need:

- pix of behind the door panel so I can see where the rail, motor and lock actuator bolt on
- pix of how the wiring harness is run along that same inside part of the door, up to where the rubber thingie goes into the panel by the door hinge
- pix or description of where the harness comes out after run into the above mentioned panel
- if possible, pix of where the other end of the wiring harness connects to. (back of fuse box under kickpanel?) If pix are too difficult, a description of where this thing goes would be great!
- pix of the door lock relay. I know it's somewhere under the dash, down by the gas pedal. That's all I know. Same goes - if pix are too difficult, a description of what this plugs into.

I'm visually oriented, so please use "landmarks" in any descriptions, and colors, i.e. "next to the gas pedal, above the hump and near the white connector" or whatever.

Thanks so much! I'll follow up with a how-to w/photos when I do the conversion.

I don't know why it'd be worth the time to get aftermarket motors... plus you can't just "add a motor" to a crank setup, you have to switch out the whole rail and everything. As for the wiring, it's not a simple as just getting 12v to the motor and buttons. There's the whole issue of - I don't know the right word to describe it - polarity? Basically there has to be some kind of actuator to tell the motor that button A pushed in one direction means "up" and pushed in the other means "down", and held down for a few seconds means "all the way down" and button B means up/down, and oh, switch panel A controls both sides while switch panel B still needs to operate. Button C means lock/unlock, and button D means Move This mirror in this direction, while it ALSO means Move That Mirror in that direction...

SO yeah, it's not exactly as simple as "run a 12v and you're good to go."
