How easy is it ?

[Eliminator]

Hi Guys,

I have just bought my daughter her first car, it's a 1999 1.2 clio 3 door,

the two doors were all dented and could not be pushed out, so I just picked up the same colour doors from a breakers off the same year car, I swapped them over yesterday and the colour is a perfect match.

The only issue is her old doors had the windows manual kind and the new doors I have put on have electric windows. I was hoping to keep the electric ones but I don't know what is needed to power them up ?

Is it something easy or is it a major operation ?

or should I just start swapping the guts and the door cards to convert it back to the way it was ?

any advice would be great, thanks

ok I have just started having a look by taking the door cards off. I am only working on the passenger side...

I have disconnected the cables from the door to the inside of the passanger footwell and found that inside the car it IS wired for electric windows. there are 2 lives and 1 negative

I used a piece of wire to test the electric window in the door direct from the battery and it works fine,

but I need to know were the 2 lives and the negative in the passenger foot well get there power from ? I have looked in the main fuse box and can't see any blown or missing, so were do the electric windows get there power source from please ? ( I don't have a haynes yet )

​are there any other fuses to control the electric windows ?

Oh well, I did it anyway, both drivers and passenger doors now both have working electric windows.
