So my sister is going to sell me her 2003 neon but the only thing I dont like about it is that it has manual windows and manual door locks. I been looking around and i have found some automatic/electric doors for the car. Will they fit fine on my car and will it be hard to wire them or is it easy? I guess i just need to connect them to the battery and to ground and that it or am I wrong.
no if you are stilled and line it up ok
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not the best when it comes to car mechanics, but you should be fine. Although it might be a good idea to all a few car repair shops and ask them just for confirmation. good luck!
You cannot just hook them up to the battery. It needs a fuse of some sort. Why not save the hassle and put up with the doors as is, or buy a neon w/pwr doors
no they need to run through a relay and also be fused and the car you have now may not be wired for power door set up,so doing this on car that isn't set up for it is kind of hard unless you have the wiring diagram for it,but it can be done,since you will have both cars to work from ,i did it on my neon but i also had two cars to work from and the complete wiring diagram on it and there was a lot of switching parts around on it to get them to work right,good luck.
First, it might be easier to swap out doors to add power windows and locks. Thats all find and dandy if the doors are the same color. My first suggestion is to do research. Visit several of the neon forums. You should find out if the car is pre-wired? The wiring is the biggest hurdle. Is the car is pre-wired for pwr options, then its a simple task of switching out door harness'. If not, then you would have to run those wires from door to door. Then supply power to each switch. Some chrysler's use resistance instead of 12v power to operate door locks. what parts are needed? do you need power optioned door panels? I'd say basic parts list would have pwr window motors, tracks, pwr door latches, door lock rods door wiring harness', switches and power optioned door panels. You might have to watch out for changes in harness' over the years. My 95 neon had different pwr mirror connectors then the 98 door harness' I used. Nothing a soldering iron couldn't fix. I had some of the same questions when I added power windows to my 95 Neon. That year neon was never offered with power windows. Most believed that the car wouldn't be pre-wired for pwr windows. That was partially correct. My car had all the wiring but 12v power. After I swapped all the pwr window motors and harness', I added a circuit to my fusebox. That was several years ago. First gen neons had a template on the back side of the door panel for the pwr window switch pods.
