power windows??????????????
ok my ????????? is when i go to install power windows besides having the door looms buttons regulators relay and fuse and bcm .... do i need to change ignition barrel and key as i would be changing the BCM as this is what i have been told by a few people

No you won't need to change the barrel but you will need the key remote that goes with the BCM you are going to use and you will also need to have the BCM linked to the ECU with a TECH 2 or the car won't start.

I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
i have access to a tech2 and thx for that will make sure i get the key remote now i know i need it as well
or you can get away with not changing the bcm,so you dont need a tech 2. theres a post floating around here somewhere on how to do that. its up to you but it may save you a few dollars & every dollar counts these days

does that include cutting of wires to btpass BCM if so im screwed cos i no good at that as i tend to stuff it up unless i have a very good diagram to work from

If youre buying a second hand BCM without remotes you will need the vin of the car it came out of to get the BCM security code or else you wont be able to program new remotes.

i mite go out to my car now and try to find the main plug for it and see if its there will let u know
ok there is a long squarish type plug where the main power window switch would wires r ===== green blue black orange white/black blue/white and a few others cbf writing them all down also when i unplugg the gromet or the door illar same wires were there but not in the door .... does that mean all i would need is the regulators relay fuse door loom and plug n play it go's or more to it

Yes, that's about it. That's all I needed when I converted my VT wagon.
Are the fuse and relay sockets wired up with the connectors, or are they empty sockets?
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
fuse and relay spots r empty but there ready for something to be plugged into them
then your laughing mate,just plug it all in & it should be sweet

thx for the help bud i thought it was gonna be a bastard of a job to do untill u all started saying look for the plug under where the master switch would go
its all good,thank holden for being cheap,lol. it was easier from the factory to just go through & put virtually the same loom in all the cars made then say right this one is a base model executive with no electrics,this has electrics etc. more cost efficient to have one loom made up to cover most models than to have the company make a whole heap of different wiring looms. i know there are some model vehicles that dont have the right plugs but for those that do,putting in electric window should be a walk in the park.

Just buy four calais doors!it'll save you heaps of work!
not if the doors arent the same colour as the car you have,then you have to paint them which is more money than to just change the looms & regulators

yes it would be strange with 4 diff color doors but paint dosnt matter to me at the moment as some time soon car will be painted but b4 paint comes other work saves paint from being scratched and stuffed by working on it so do work paint once i say
He there guys i have done elec windows on my vt and was easy as i did the bcm bypass i have the diagrams if you want to know what wires to cut and join . email me if you wont them on bhopperr@hotmail.com
cheers
