Putting electric windows and central locking into a mk1

hey guys,

im thinking i might put the central locking and electric windows into my mk1

on the wiring side of things,

where would it wire to?
im guessing there isnt a plug?
fuse?
relay?

please inform me

There are two earths that screw to the chassis between the seats and the two lives plug into the fuse box, its a self contained loom really

The loom has two plugs on it and a single earth, the two plugs go into the fusebox and just plug in, top right corner and the earth goes just behind the gearstick iirc:thumb:

so it will all just plug in? into the fuse box?

and the normal of swapping the window motors, and door pins etc etc

I don't think my povo spec loom at one of the connections required on the fusebox, but it's just +ve and ign live so won't be difficult to wire them in if required.

It's possible to keep the entire loom behind the dash if you don't want it under the carpet as I did this.

I fitted c.locking to my merit. It didn't have the fusebox connecting just normal power conectiong with the solenoid/motor plugs. Wired them in taking feed from somewhere (can't remeber though) and ran the loom behind the dash.

the electric window motors replace the standard winders in any door. theres small rods with a flat on one end you need with the solenoids and also you might need to drill holes through the door and body but they are centre punched. wiring cl has a permanent 12v and electric windows is a switched 12v.

damn, centre punched to drill the holes! i obviously took the hard way lol
