alright, so im getting tired of my cranker windows and no power locks in my 95 xj. my 93 parts xj has all that. switching over the motor and the track arent that big of an issue to me, but the wiring is. what i need help with is how to disconnect and remove the entire wiring harness and how to put it back in. has anyone done this or knows of any websites that show how to do this? thanks for any help

Sorry not trying to burst your bubble but most people usually want the manuals due to simplicity and never having to worry about breaking. But the Haynes manual has the wiring diagram you are looking for.

None of this is what op is asking for. Seems like hes made his mind up and is asking for advice and tips on how to do it. To each their own.

I think I remember quadratec carrying a conversion kit with motors tracks wiring and switches to convert manual to electric.

its an electric motor on the windows give the motors power and ground and they will work. the locks are a little different and i personally would not go through the hassle for something that requires all of 2 seconds for me to push a button. i mean no one can be that lazy. if it something you have to have they have been doing custom power locks for years. i installed some a few years ago and its not hard with a kit god only knows how DC wired these up and if the wires are there in the jeep cool plug them in if not i say **** it.
