Electricky Windows

Post by karlosantana »

I want some rear electric windows in my 406 LX DT D8 estate. Anyone know whether the plugs are there to simply buy the motors and switches and plug 'em in? Or is it a new loom Situation?
Cheers

hi mate. no the wires wont be there. it will be a case of completely doing it all yourself.

wires motors switches . the lot , it will be a pig running the wires but should be very easy to get a power source .

Id get all the pieces from a scrappy! If you're planning on keeping the car for a long time, it would be a worthwhile time investment.
