When I did this for my 87, there was a seperate harness just for the door windows and locks. That's what I grabbed from the donor. I don't remember the year the donor was. I'm assuming it was Renix year.

It's a simple swap. Pull the harness and plug into the same spots on the fuse block

I don't remember the details too much, but the separate power doors harness had quite a few wires in them. I mean has at least two for each window and two for the locks. There were also two relays on it, but that may be an option. I didn't deal with any security system as it didn't have it.

Yeah I really just want the keyless entry with the power doors and I know part of the keyless system is in the overhead console

You would be better off buying a cheap after market keyless entry system and installing it. The factory system sucks
