I've bought Marv a set of replacement doors which are coming with an aftermarket set of electric windows (fancy, I know ).

Are they easy enough to wire in to the loom? If anyone in the know can provide a simple(ish) explanation of how to connect them up I'd be forever in your debt.

Thanks
Iain

It will be dependent on the kit that you have bought.
Mine required the loom putting in from one door to the other and then connections to earth and 12v (live or switched - your choice).
The live I got from in the back of the fuse panel and the earth from one of the earth crowns.
Don't forget to fuse the live (close to the fuse panel).

or, if you can find an kit like this meant for a beetle, couple of wires, three screws and its on

There are 3 wires, a blue, a white and a green, we've made one cut in the loom, pass the long side behind the glove box etc routing carefully, then join these together, the resultant red and black left, red to a fused positive supply of 15amp and the black to earth, are you putting them on as they are? They will need painting and the body kit holes filling or your bodykit fitting, I explained all of this on the phone when you called.

Hi Steve,

You did explain it when we spoke, but I stupidly didn't write it down. Wiring anything up in the van is something I have yet to attempt. I'm sure it will probably make sense when I see it all together, but I was cheekily hoping for the idiots guide seeing as that's pretty much where level of my skills lie at the moment.
