Re: Power window install Help
Yep.. only the XE CC Titans come with power windows/locks. Sucks you got the KC. ..well KC in the XE model lol this does pose a problem.
However, I don't understand why some of these guys say you need a BCM. I personally don't think you do. It's very simple. The power windows need, well, power. I assume 12 volts (double check this). You need to find the wires of which the factory switches take in power, and which ones don't. Usually red/black. Wire from the ignition power sorce (wherever you can find one, probably fuse box) and wire in the switches. Then your motors which make window go up/down need power. So you need to find which wires connect into the motor (if you don't have a harness which I assume you do) I would get a volt meter if I were you to pin-point which wires accept current and whcih ones dont.
I would also take a 12volt source and try the window motor/switches BEFORE installing in the truck.
Now some issues: 1, if you have keyless, the press and hold unlock to roll windows down won't work. 2, your dirver side switch won't control your passanger window, UNLESS you run wire from the passanger swich, under the dash, to the motor in the passanger door. That could be a pain, just running all that wire. 3, seems like a lot of work. You should have thought of all this before buying the truck. And bought a truck already with power windows.
Good luck
