my buddy did a door swap and there was a harness that you just plug in under the dash on both sides, no splicing. Manual and electric trucks have the harness that was installed by the manufacturer
This makes way more sense than the other video I saw. Wish I would have found it before swapping the whole dash harness and causing myself more problems. Anyways, does this also make the power mirrors and mirror turn signals work?
Hey boss I don’t know if you’re still replying in this comment section. I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado and my local Junkyard just got in a 2005 Gmc sierra I’m going to take the door panels, wiring harness, window regulators, bcm, and the door latches to do the swap. Everything should work for my truck right even the bcm?
@Only1-Godly I just bought everything out of a 2005 silverado and did a complete swap and yes it did work but it's a pain in the ass got all my parts from trust auto parts out of Houston and some part from O'Reilly but it all works like factory
@@K3VG979 previous owner didnt know how to get them off and busted both of them. I have 5 or so of these parts trucks but they are auto. Hard to find manual crank. Probably gonna have to end up swapping to auto
Hey man your videos really helped me I just have one question did you get the service airbag message after you replaced your bem I just finally finished the whole power window and power locks conversion but I ran into that problem after I programmed the bem
Your video is great. To the point. Good explanations. I have a question, though. I have an 01 silverado. Power windows and door locks already. I am trying to convert the switches(windows and door locks) to the 03-07 style. I have everything i need, except the wiring color codes for the 03 switches. Do you have that by any chance?
Did the new BCM come out of a truck with the push button 4WD? Gonna be doing this swap soon with parts from a Yukon Denali into a Sierra WT with the manual 4WD and don’t want to have a service 4WD light
Cool second video I've seen of some one doing it this way. Safe to say it works. Some. Day I'll get it done. You can now also add power mirrors. They plug into the window switch.
Hey bro I just did the conversion on my 04 single cab. How do I remove the air bag light and the “service airbag” message? The bcm i used came off a single cab 03-06
If you haven’t gotten it to work faster yet, I’d suggest buying new window regulator/motor assemblies, and make sure the track the window slides in is clean and not pinched. The regulators commonly fail in these trucks
I just did mine and it worked except the door lock on the passenger side does not work from the driver side but from the passenger side it does work all the way around
Henry im doing a conversion from manual to OEM power window but I got power going yo switch but I can't get power out from switch does the switch have a secondary power for it to operate looks just like you switches
Hey man my truck is a 05 duramax with manual windows but power locks. Should i wire anything different or the same? Asking cause i saw you said your was manual locks and windows when you wired it. Also, can i just flash my bcm at the dealer?
Hey bro after you did the conversion did your airbag light turn on? Lmk because mine did and I was trying to see if I can get rid of it. Great vid btw! 👍🏼
Im doing this on my 03 ram i replaced the in cab harnesses and door harnesses and installed the doors lock mechanisms but on the window motor track/bracket the Ridgid arm off the motor is at a different angle 😢 so i gota figure one that out😂
Sorry if it’s a dumb question I haven’t taken apart my truck but do I need the rods as well from the donor truck or can I use my stock ones for the power locks?
Awesome video bro. Got my windows working but I had a few q’s. There are two red wires under the steering column, which one do I tap into? Also, I was going to order a used bcm to get my locks and interior lights working, do you know which vin or part number I need?
check for the wire that stays on when you turn the truck off you need to tap in to that one and no i’m not sure what vin it is as long as it power windows and locks and around the same year of your truck
Dude, your the man. I bought a BCM off of eBay $30 with the same part number as the one you installed from your donor truck. eBay advertised it as a bcm from a hummer. My locks and windows work, I’m about to buy a key fob to see if it works. Thanks again!!!
@@deanda1984 no problem man! really glad everything is working out and yes if you buy a key fob it will work i bought some for mine and they work perfect
I’ve had a single cab for 2 years now and I’ve saved your video not to long after. Well the time has come, I bought 2 entire doors off FB marketplace. I swapped everything I needed and got it the majority done over the course of two afternoons. I ran 16-14 gauge wire with a 20amp max in line fuse and I’ve blown two fuses so far. I didn’t realize the first time but the second time was when I rolled both windows down at the same time. Should I run bigger wire and bigger in line fuse or just bigger fuse ? Side question the drivers side doesn’t want to stay locked, it’ll lock and immediately unlock, when I press the switch any ideas ?
@@Henrylxtit already has the replacement BCM but yea I that’s what I end up doing, haven’t had a problem since. The driver door wouldn’t lock running with the door open because obviously it’s a safety feature so you don’t get locked out 🤦♂️🤣. I’m noticing my engine running differently, is your truck originally v6 with a bcm from a v8 ?
@@LuisDTR29 yeah the same thing happened to me with the safety feature but yes my truck was originally a v6 but i have a v8 in it now and i have a v8 bcm in it
@@Henrylxt thanks for answering my questions far, I really appreciate it! I know I can buy a remote but I already had an alarm and I’m trying to tap into the door locks/unlocks, because I had aftermarket actuators. I’ve found which wires I would supposedly tap into but my wiring that goes into the BCM doesn’t have those wires. Would you know anything about that ?
Quick question bro I was wondering if yours had the pin connections for the passenger side on the fuse block for the black connector on the harness I was trying to figure out how to make the passenger connector to work and make the windows go up and down.
😂😂 I converted my truck to manual windows and haven't been able to find any door panels in dark gray like the ones you took out. So my truck looks just like yours inside. Gray interior with tan door panels 😂😂
Yep they are or you have to buy the entire door to get them. I found 2 sets in my local junkyard but both has sun damage. You should be able to find some nice ones pretty easy. It seems like there are more automatic than there are manual. Side note...... have you ever looked into doing the Toyota tundra rear window swap? I did mine last year and absolutely love it
@@Henrylxt yep I used a 08 tundra window. The entire glass goes down. The titan is a little easier because only the center goes down. But either way both are really nice options. The titan window is way easier and you can order install kits online.
Hey man so I’m doing the same swap to my 04 work truck but where my fuse box is I only have 4 wires where you plug the harness in did yours have the same?
So all the wires and wiring harness is from another Silverado? Any Silverado from those years will work With the same wiring harness oem & is there something you watched or looked up that help you wire up everything because im still confused for the wiring part!
i just connected my wires together (the blue and brown ones” to the harness the window still won’t work my truck came with power windows any suggestions??
Could i also just get full complete power door already n swap full doors with everything already done just would need the wiring part ? My doors are all dented bad so i have to swap door regardless? Would it be easier ?
So, I have 2000 gmc with manual windows and recently got complete power doors with harness which wires should I take from Silverado to make my swap more oem or easier? Should I take bcm? Thanks you ahead of time
One more question boss, does the bcm have to be from the same chassis truck. Mine is a 2500 I’m trying to do the swap on. The wiring and bcm I got was from a gasser Denali yukon. Could I still use it to do this swap?
@@Henrylxt thank you so much boss man, fixing to see if it’s possible to Tun this one, if the truck doesn’t turn on after the reprogram test I could always but the original one back right?
after you switched the bcm, did you still have to splice the green wires? also, what did you connect to make the locks move? i know you connected the bcm but did you also add actuators? i’ve been searching for months on how to do this with oem parts and you answered almost all questions ive been looking for. edit: also what did you splice the motor wires to (the ones you put on the battery to check if they worked)
The green wire is is spliced with a wire that connects with the brown small wire from your driver side even i you change your bcm you still have to do it also I didn’t splice no wire to no actuators or motor everything is connected with the oem plugs
Do I need to swap the bcm out for one that has power windows wired every thing already getting power and all but the switches aren’t making the windows go down and my truck a 99 base so the bcm probably don’t have the power windows
@@Henrylxt okay sweet, I saw another video that had without but your video was much cleaner and easier to follow. Apparently those relays are only for crew cab trucks. Anyways thanks for replying man I appreciate it!
So on the passenger side are supposed to take out the the box where the harnest goes and splice the 2 orange wires together and put it back in the box? Kinda confused on that part but every thing else makes sense
This might sound like a stupid question but did you use the wires from the old harnesses to connect the wires from under the dash or were they just from auto zone?
@@Henrylxt I’ve got one on the way. I bought one from an extended cab that had power locks and windows. So should be good to go now. Just have to do the relearn once I get the new BCM. Have you done the relearn? Is it crank, then wait 10 minutes, off for 5 seconds, then try to crank again, and repeat that until it learns the new one?
If I do this on my 2005 Silverado regular cab, would front doors from an extended or crew cab truck fit mine? Or the mechanism from those doors? I don’t even know what a BCM is, but would a regular cab’s with power windows one be best for my truck? This computer controlled stuff on newer than 1985 vehicles is so confusing to me. I’d probably have to order everything from eBay or GM anyway. It’s probably not affordable for me, but it’s sure interesting to know it’s possible. I’ve seen some videos on universal kits to give me power windows and locks that are probably more affordable for me right now. Thanks for your instructional video, great job on what you had to figure out how to do yourself. What you’ve done is exactly what I wish I could do. Enjoy your power windows and locks. Edit: I read some more comments and learned that the engine from a donor truck must be the same. Mine is a 5.3, but what does “drive by wire” mean?
Yes doors from any extended cab or crew cab will fit just fine if you look up bcm (body control module) on google you’ll easily see what it is and I would not recommend buying anything aftermarket I got everything from a donor which is all oem and you can easy go to a local junk yard and get these parts for cheap
Alright i have one more dumb question lol. I swapped out the bcm and got did the 3 10s procedure. How do i get the air bag light to turn off. Not sure if anyones run into this issue
I’m doing this on my 06 cateye v6 but i can’t find the cable placement on the driver side Your way for passenger worked but can’t seem to get the driver side to work any way I could get help
hey bro i did an electric conversion and i dont a bcm and my truck keeps on draining my battery because everything stays on when the truck is off if i get the other bcm will it fix that
Did you do any extra wiring for the power locks to work or just the electric widows? Also what exactly was the problem with the dome light? You swapped a new bcm to get the light to work??
if you connected everything right both sides should work once you connect them all together the bcm is for your locks to work and for keyless entry with a fob
I have a 02 Silverado and I have everything on already I just don’t get the wiring I did the same thing u did at first and did not work do I have to buy the bcm from another truck ?
So the orange wires theoretically I just have to put them together and run them to the other side? Or am I just running one to one side for the red wire and the other one for the other side and then connecting them?
@@Henrylxt thank you so so so much bro!! I really appreciate not only the vid but how genuine you are, fingers crossed this goes well. I got a bcm, doors, and all the harness I just gotta get her done
Ended up getting it took me about 4 days. The bcm was a TOTAL B and a half to program and still tells me I got a liftgate fuse to replace😂 but I ended up having to get power from the front fuse block and put a tap in there and was able to program a key fob with it. The process took me a few times I ended up having to get a new battery but all in all it wasn’t that hard
Ay I tried to do this and I swapped the window engines over and the locks and I tested them and they work but when I tried to do the wring the harness I have has 4 orange skinny wires and some others think ones that are not orange I tried to give the 12 v to 2 of them and nothing happend idk it’s not working

Whats that green wire u tapped into at bcm? Is that still needed once u switched the bcm?
This makes way more sense than the other video I saw. Wish I would have found it before swapping the whole dash harness and causing myself more problems. Anyways, does this also make the power mirrors and mirror turn signals work?
power windows will work but the turns signals will not work you’ll have to where them differently
What did you do about the dash harness? I’m in the same situation right now , swapped the whole dash now I got no power to windows mirrors or bezel 😅

Did you swap out the drivers side fuse box from the doner truck? Mine doesn’t have those relays there
no i didn’t not swap any fuse box the harness connected right to it
@@Henrylxt okay sweet, I saw another video that had without but your video was much cleaner and easier to follow. Apparently those relays are only for crew cab trucks. Anyways thanks for replying man I appreciate it!
So on the passenger side are supposed to take out the the box where the harnest goes and splice the 2 orange wires together and put it back in the box? Kinda confused on that part but every thing else makes sense
you get your 2 orange wires form the harness of the windows
@@Henrylxt can I dm u if I need help bro gon try n do it on my truck this weekend
@@maxbritoclipperhands2998 yeah for sure i got instagram
@@Henrylxt wats ur ig

This might sound like a stupid question but did you use the wires from the old harnesses to connect the wires from under the dash or were they just from auto zone?
you can get it from autozone
Did you splice the two orange wires together or put them in the same metal tip bro? Same for the brown wire
@@Guero019 i put them in the e metal tip but the brown wire i spliced together
What’s the easiest way to remove the tips to combine the wires
Basically you don’t have the two orange wires or brown wire connected to the harness that plugs into the fuse panel
When you did this. Does the door still get the signal when it’s opened? Or do you have to wait for your truck to time out to shut everything off?
did you change the bcm?
@@Henrylxt I’ve got one on the way. I bought one from an extended cab that had power locks and windows. So should be good to go now. Just have to do the relearn once I get the new BCM.
Have you done the relearn?
Is it crank, then wait 10 minutes, off for 5 seconds, then try to crank again, and repeat that until it learns the new one?
@@jestinmorse8248 yes that’s how you relearn it if you go at the end of the video i have a paper that tells you exactly how to do it
If I do this on my 2005 Silverado regular cab, would front doors from an extended or crew cab truck fit mine? Or the mechanism from those doors? I don’t even know what a BCM is, but would a regular cab’s with power windows one be best for my truck? This computer controlled stuff on newer than 1985 vehicles is so confusing to me. I’d probably have to order everything from eBay or GM anyway. It’s probably not affordable for me, but it’s sure interesting to know it’s possible.
I’ve seen some videos on universal kits to give me power windows and locks that are probably more affordable for me right now. Thanks for your instructional video, great job on what you had to figure out how to do yourself. What you’ve done is exactly what I wish I could do. Enjoy your power windows and locks.
Edit: I read some more comments and learned that the engine from a donor truck must be the same. Mine is a 5.3, but what does “drive by wire” mean?
Yes doors from any extended cab or crew cab will fit just fine if you look up bcm (body control module) on google you’ll easily see what it is and I would not recommend buying anything aftermarket I got everything from a donor which is all oem and you can easy go to a local junk yard and get these parts for cheap
Drive by wire means instead of a linkage, say for a throttle, you have the electronic throttle control. That's an example of part of it.
Do you have a videos on power mirrors and power and heated seats
i’m working on that
🔥🔥
Quick question.. couldn’t I get the whole door with power windows tHE same year truck can I switch tHE whole doors & dO that wiring like yOu did
Yeah you can as long as you have the harness and everything along with a bcm
yes you can install the whole door with the wiring already in it
For the body control module what do u need is it just the box or the cables
Just the box
Alright i have one more dumb question lol. I swapped out the bcm and got did the 3 10s procedure. How do i get the air bag light to turn off. Not sure if anyones run into this issue
i heard that air bag light does come on not exactly sure how to turn it off but i think there’s a video that shows you how to turn it off
Will the power mirrors and power folding mirrors work with this?
yes they should work
I’m doing this on my 06 cateye v6 but i can’t find the cable placement on the driver side
Your way for passenger worked but can’t seem to get the driver side to work any way I could get help
sorry about the late response do you still need help?
Did this truck have power locks and manual windows before?
No it did not I had to do all the wiring to make a powers window and locks
Can you just swap doors? I need my truck repainted so color won’t be an issue for me
yes you can do that as well a lot easier
Hey bro did u use the harness from your crew cab or did u had to get sum from like a extended cab?
i used them from the crew cab
Hey bro I did it on my 03 Silverado but even though the truck is off I’m able to roll down my windows
@@erikrangel2202 did you change your bcm?
Im trying this on a 2000 do you know what that green wire in the pcm does my pcm is difrent just tryana see what you spliced into
i don’t think it will work for a 2000 year model
Do I need to have the matching bcm to the wiring and harness?
Like from the same truck?
it don’t have to be the same year as long as it’s power windows and locks
are you parting out the rest of the crew cab? if so, where are you located?
What are you looking for?
@@Henrylxt im dm you
Nice video, pal!
How can i contact you? Id like to ask a little bit about the wiring
instagram @henry.lxt
appreciate you watching🤙🏽
Have your figured out why the turn signal stay on the passenger side or don’t work
i haven’t yet
hey bro i did an electric conversion and i dont a bcm and my truck keeps on draining my battery because everything stays on when the truck is off if i get the other bcm will it fix that
Yes if you change your bcm it will fix that
hey u think I can use oem power window harness from a 01 extended cab for my single cab 01 chevy?
99-02 won’t work
My window goes down good but everytime go to put up the fuse blows. Any suggestions?
sorry just seen your comment did you ever figure it out?
@@Henrylxt naw man i haven't figured it out yet.I didnt have master switch so i hope that is the problem. Just ordered it hopefully thats it.
That was the problem. I was using passenger switch. Soon as i pit master switch in worked like a charm.
Did you do any extra wiring for the power locks to work or just the electric widows? Also what exactly was the problem with the dome light? You swapped a new bcm to get the light to work??
once you swap your bcm your lock will work without doing extra wiring and also your dome light will work when you open your doors
Can you program a key fob doing it this way?
yes if you change the bcm you’ll be able to program a key fob
How much would you charge to do mine i have everything in hand but im stuck on the mod wiring part
where you from?
@@Henrylxt Pasadena
I dm u on ig
Hey @Henrylxt what part of Texas are you in I'm in Houston I want to do that conversion on my 2001 single cab
this conversation will actually not work for 99-02 trucks
@@Henrylxt oh okay cool thanks for the info
Ok found the 12v constant, passenger side window works, do i need to swap bcms to make the driverside work?
if you connected everything right both sides should work once you connect them all together the bcm is for your locks to work and for keyless entry with a fob
@@Henrylxt got it all working, thanks for the help 👍
@@austinnorris2383 yessir no problem
When you shift into reverse or drive do the doors automatically lock?
yes they do
what wires will i need to get? do i need the harness from the dash as well?
you won’t need the dash harness
I have a 02 Silverado and I have everything on already I just don’t get the wiring I did the same thing u did at first and did not work do I have to buy the bcm from another truck ?
this method will actually not work for 99-02
What did you end up doing I have an 02 Chevy too and I’m trying to make it work
@victorvargas9512
Also what was the reason for swapping the bcm?
for the locks to work
what year harness & window switches did you use?
from a 05 silverado
Does the door power turn on now that you changed the bcm as well?
yes it does
Does your key fob work?
yes my key fob does work
Do you know how I can keep my power locks working all the time and the windows working ONLY when I turn the key.
you need to change your bcm for that to work
@@Henrylxt yeah that’s the first thing I did must be something else
@@bryankrizan7859 what wire did you connect the fuse on the bottom of your steering column?
So first we program BCM then we do wiring right ?
it ready don’t matter you can do either one first
So the orange wires theoretically I just have to put them together and run them to the other side? Or am I just running one to one side for the red wire and the other one for the other side and then connecting them?
you connect the orange wires together then splice one form them to the red while
@@Henrylxt thank you so so so much bro!! I really appreciate not only the vid but how genuine you are, fingers crossed this goes well. I got a bcm, doors, and all the harness I just gotta get her done
@@stephengarrow6966 appreciate you watching🙏🏽 and if you need any more help just lmk
Ended up getting it took me about 4 days. The bcm was a TOTAL B and a half to program and still tells me I got a liftgate fuse to replace😂 but I ended up having to get power from the front fuse block and put a tap in there and was able to program a key fob with it. The process took me a few times I ended up having to get a new battery but all in all it wasn’t that hard
Do you have to switch the bcm in order for it to work?
you do not have to switch bcm in order to work unless you want your power mirrios to work then yes you do
Ay I tried to do this and I swapped the window engines over and the locks and I tested them and they work but when I tried to do the wring the harness I have has 4 orange skinny wires and some others think ones that are not orange I tried to give the 12 v to 2 of them and nothing happend idk it’s not working
what year model is your truck?
