electric window query

[sonic]

Does anyone have any idea if K11 electric windows and their mechanisms fit into K11 doors that had wind up windows ?

Yes they will, but you will need the doorcards from the electric windowed car.

already got them, cheers Craig.

i am planning to install them without using the nissan door cards but instead a set of toggle switches in the middle of the car.

nissan made them interchangable so they wouldn't have to make two molds for the doors good old nissan

make sure you have a think wire providing the power to the motors because they will need alot of amps and a thin wire will melt!

let us know how you get on and if it goes well you could make a guide

goodluck mate

All I'm doing is replacing the doors on my March, I'm getting a manual window set of doors and putting my electric gear to them, it is a good idea about a guide though.

its not hard at all i have done it on mine (k11 1997)

basically the manual and electric mechanisms have the exact same attachment points to the door so its a straight swap

then you have 2 wires coming from your motor,

at this point i did a google search and got my head around how electric window switches worked (how they reverse the +ve and -ve for up and down functions, its quite clever)

anyway once i got the jist of it, i went to a scrappy and robbed a random car of 2 switches which were attached to the same piece of electrics

then i spent ages with the multimeter finding out which pins on the connector for the switches did what (eg, +ve input, earth, left door up, left door down, right door up, right door down)

then run your wires, solder it all up nice and neat, and locate the 2 switches in between the driver and passenger so you can both access them

i located mine in front of my sunroof wonder and they look cool in the roof

Nex and Bal - very interested in how you fit other switches so if you got any notes about
