so i want to put electric windows and locks on my 2004 ram 1500. what all do i need, is there wiring already in my truck just have to find it. because we had a 2001 monte carlo ss with cloth seats but we swapped for heated leather seats and the wiring was already there. thanks p.s. what would be a ballpark estimate for the swap
thanks

 

I have converted the windows to power but not the door locks. The conversion was not very difficult but there is no wiring there so everything has to be wired from scratch. I would strongly recommend that you buy the OEM window regulators which include the motors, they are like $85 each and bolt right in. Once you have those all you need is a switch and harness kit. I found one that had a little newer style and has a nice finished look. here is a link to the kit http://www.amazon.com/Electric-49901...2&sr=8-1-fkmr2 the pics in the link are the switches installed in my 07 Ram 1500. One other thing that may help if you get the OEM regulators is that the manual regulators mount upright in the door but the power ones mount upside down in the door. There are different mount holes already in the door for the power regulator that you will use. Since the regultors mount opposite of each other make sure you don't try to mount them in the same holes that the original manual ones came out of or it won't work right and the regulators will be in the wrong doors meaning that the way they are made the correct one looks like a mirror image of the original one and not the same DO NOT TAKE THEM OUT AND SET THEM ON THE GROUND TO MATCH UP or they will be wrong. Make sure you know which part number goes to which door and do not mix them up cause you can mount them on the wrong side but it will not work. Hope this helps cause it took me a while to figure out that I was trying to install them in the wrong spot on the wrong side due to matching the regulators and installing in original location.

Find a donor vehicle.

 

The power door lock kit looks good but I would not recommend the window kit. It is a universal kit designed to work with any manual window regulator and I have heard that they don't always work very well. For the same price you could get the OEM regulators and bolt them right in with no modification. Either way you would also need a switch kit and the electric life joker kit comes with all the wiring you need, No doner vehicle is needed.
