Sorry if this has been coverd 1000000000 times! i spent all morning searching and could not find anything relevant to me!

A few years back, dad salvedged a bunch of power window regulators, swicthes, console switch & door trims out of a VT clubsport.

Just wondering (minus the back door trims) if everything else should bolt in alright, and being an acclaim, which had factory option power windows, would i need any extra wiring as dad didnt grab that!

Any help would be great!

When I had my VT Acclaim wagon I installed power windows and the only wiring that wasn't already there were the door looms. The door looms are different in the series 1 and 2, series 2 are the same as VX. I have a set of door looms for a series 2 if you are interested.

The door looms run from the body through the doors. The BCM is up behind the dash on the driver's side but you won't need to access it.
If you have a series 1 the looms unplug at the body and if you have a series 2 the will be a rubber grommet at the body and a connector behind that.

Too many to list......
If your car has ABS the wiring will be there. ABS is standard on the Acclaim so it will be there. However you MIGHT need to cut two wires off the BCM connectors and solder them in. You will need to change the four door looms which are easy to replace. As said above, Series 1 is different. You will need to change all four door trims to get rid of the holes where the cranks used to be.

I didn't need to do that, just door looms, relay and fuse and it was right to go.
