Power windows and Locks

slimjonesy · 07-04-2007, 05:35 PM

Anyone ever installed power locks or power windows on a XE before? I found some on ebay,but wanted to get some feedback on how they are first. Thanks.

For window go with SPAL kit, for door lock make sure it's for "cable" system and not "rod".

Cool, the SPAL are the ones im getting, i just wanted to get some feedback from people who have already installed them. Maybe even some pictures of the windows buttons installed would be cool to!

i got my spal kit on ebay for $60.00. no switches though, works awesome and easy to install. im using the omega industries door lock actuators just because they are very compact.

Go to A1electric.com...great stuff, SPAL(deluxe), switches and MES central locks. I did it to mine, works great. I did keyless entry, windows/locks, switches and installed all on my own. My first keyless/power conversion, but I have mucho expirience with cars/electronics. Customer service (guy's name was Art) was great!

do they give you any kind of plugs or something to cover up the hole from your manual crank for the window? Also can you give me the model number of the door locks and power windows kit you have?

They do give plugs to cover crank holes w/kit. It's a universal job..
Locks - W01C-K (for cable locks)
Windows - 3300-0030 (Spal deluxe)

I have the SPAL kit in my 05' XE and have been very very happy with it. They even installed the factory looking switches for me and total cost was under $300.

Where did you get it done?

Did the spal kit on my wife's rig and she thinks it's great but I think it is super slow...at least slower than my other truck.

I had mine installed here in louisville, KY at Auto One. I believe it is a local aftermarket shop but it could be national. I think they are just a little slow but that Titans have HUGE windows. So it's not that bad and the motors don't seem to be working that hard at all. The installers said that is the only kit they will install because of the quality and the warranty.

how difficult is it to install the power window kits (SPAL DELUXE) and door locks (MES)? I ahve installed a lot of Car Audio but have never messed with door locks. Are the switch kits just made to cut into the switch panel?

I switched to both power windows and door locks on my 07 KC XE. The only problem with the windows so far, aftermarket, and go up way to slow. Also my driver side door lock is starting to lock up because the way the splice the wire in the door is getting caught and won't lock sometimes. Other than that no probs.
