ok so ive been wanting to do a pwer window and lock swap in my truck now i like to idea of the aftermarket power window kits which i would buy one to put i my truck but i was wondering if i could take the arm rests out of a same gen 4runner (reason for 4runner armrest is because i cant find any for the pickup with power windows unless they have a different place tat the switches go) and bolt them up and get the factoy switchs to make it look nicer ya know
so what i want to do is get a power window and lock kit for a 95 toyota pickup but the 4runner armrests, pass switch, and master out of a pickup
do you know if this set up would work or not?

or possiby another vehicle that i could pull the regulators and motorsfrom even if they arnt direct bolt on ya know or maybe if somebody has a pickup with factory power windows and locks the could take a picture of the door panel for me so i can have a idea of where the switchs go

get the regulators from another truck that already had power functions. i bought the regulators and they were a direct bolt-in. link in a sec...

why don't you find a donor vehicle from a salvage yard and keep it all toyota?

that's what i meant. the toyota truck power window regulator for similar models will bolt right in. that's what i did, except with new regulators. i also made my own circuit with 4-runner rear window switches. the swap was incredibly easy

yeah i was seeing that the universal kits didnt make it look factory cause you have to leave the crank in place
where does the original switchs mount?
is the armrest different?
topeka seems to be lacking in u pull its ect... found one guy though runs a scrap yard that i letting me pick a pair of buckets out of any car/truck on the lot and all the power steering stuff for my truck just need a 4wd box for the et of chrome wheels off of my truck before my convertion

Dreidel

do you know if the 4runner regulators will fit in the pickup doors

they should. just make sure a) it's from the same years [84-89, 90-95, etc] and b) make sure you get the one that matches your window type [ventilator or non-ventilator]

search ebay to get a good idea of what you want (there's pictures, prices, descriptions, etc), then decide where you want to buy them. i got mine new from ebay for a decent price.

as for switch mounting, look through the link i posted earlier. i put them in the center console.

ok cool i just commented on your write up just waned to make sure because i know the doors arnt the same what armrest should i use for the power windows i would also like to do the power mirrors swap too did the runners use the same armrest too just with a different plate across top to cover up the extra holes for rear windows

reviving my own thread here i finally got around to getting a set of doors off a 4runner with power everything and all the switches what i couldnt do was unplug the harness on the passenger door so it had to be cut, or get any of the computer stuff so i have to make my own circuit which isnt to big a deal thanks to irab for posting a basic diagram on his thread
i want to use all the factory switches but need to setup my own circuits plus do everything for power mirrors and power locks
is all the power window control box just a box full of relays
basically what im going for here is a stand alone power window/lock/mirrors using oem parts
i took the doors apart today and was looking at the inside and realized i could minimize the wires going to and from the door by mounting the relays to the door in the forwardmost part of the door i already got the drivers side mirror swapped ill post a write up of the passengers side with pics but im probably going to go ahead and get the hang of it thatway when i do my right up it wont be a complete clusterf*** like most off my other write ups

somewhat related to the topic but where are the wiring diagrams located in the fsm i feel like my 95 fsm is missing some stuff cause i cant find them but my 85 and 88 fsm's go into crazy detail where as my 95 fsm is almost like a haynes manual and not very good

Dreidel

ok so thanks to irab88 and weaselman i will be using this circuit

this site provides lots of info and diagrams on automotive circuits and such

I'm trying to add power windows but I'm trying to use a 4runner rear door switch. Could you please help me out with wiring. I have the oem switch and harness to it but it has 5 total wires. Plz help
