Manual to Electric Swap Info in an 89 (pics are gone)
Source: by 89_outlaw (James);
finally got around to putting in my PDL and PWs today.. here is a lil how to, time spent, problems, what was needed:
Time Spent: 2 hrs
Problems: None, you'll need the plug and play wiring harness for these if not so equiped, mine already had it making the job less time comsuming.
Tools needed: Drill, 3/8 drill bit,small 1/4 dr rachet with 6" extension, assorted small sockets.. depending on whats in your truck. a lil pbs blaster or equivelent to make things go a lil smoother and all the parts needed for the swap
How to: Change from Manual to elec, power windows and door locks
1st off, took off the rotted door and installed the newer manual operated door to the body. less heavy without all the extra stuff. layed the elc windowed door beside the manual
2nd work all the wiring off the elec door
3rd, the lock actuator is pop riveted in if from factory so you'll have to drill this out
4th I went ahead and took the door latch out to save or get rid of and it made more room to move around
5th with a hammer knock in the end of the pop rivets, ya don't have to hit it hard they pop right in then drill out the PR heads
6th take out the 2 screws that hold the vent window on this part of the door and the bolt that was over top the rivets ya just took out.. as you pull out the vent window pull it back towards the back of the door and pull up when it stops turn 90 degrees to get past the attaching tab. the rubber around the window also comes out with this
7th.. once you've got the 4 rivets out becareful becuase the window is going to slide down.. making it easier to get out.. on the window slider simply pull back on the window gear assemble until it slides out of the rail
8th remove big glass.. this should leave your elec door almost stripped.. manuvere the gear assembly and remove from door
thats it.. the door is gutted..
Now do the same to the manual door.. install is reverse what ya just read, clean up and lubricant all parts while out of door makes for a cleaner job
you can use 3/8 bolts and nuts but I was fortunate enough to have a cousin in the glass business who had a Heavy duty rivetor so I reriveted everything that was riveted onto the new door, replace the exterior locks and ya should be in business
keep all the extra parts such as door handles, vent window and so forth, cause ya never know when you'll need em.. or ya can simply sell em or give em away..
Hope this helps someone in need.. thx for looking/reading
James..."

Motor Models - the split between models of the 92 (for power window motor purposes) occurs in May. If it was made BEFORE May, the window motor is the same as a 91. Otherwise, the motor is the same as the 92-96.
So, you're ok on that too.
here is a
door install by Steve
He swapped a 95 door into his 83; plus, "The body tub is an '82, the tailgate is a '96, the doors are '80 & '94 with '94 power mirrors, the front clip is '84, and the camper shell is a '96 with a '94 Explorer roof rack & '82 sliding windows."

Parts Diagram
Power Window, Power Door Lock, Power Mirror & Speaker Harness & Connector Location & Removal from Door in 92-96; "...The passenger door harness disconnects inside that kick panel. But the driver door harness is continuous from the door lock motor all the way over to those passenger connectors. Either pull the dash, or disconnect everything inside the driver door, and then feed the harness out of it as you remove the door. I'd just unbolt the hinges & hang them both from a beam across the roof of the truck, leaving the wiring connected..."

LUBRICATION
Weatherstrip
Use Silicone Lubricant C0AZ-19553-AA (jelly) and D7AZ-19553-AA (spray) or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M13P4-A on the door and window weatherstrips whenever necessary. Silicone lubricant helps avoid weatherstrip squeaks and retards excess weatherstrip wear from chafing between the door glass upper frame and the weatherstrip. It also helps to retain door window alignment by reducing friction between the glass frame and the rubber weatherstrip.
Hinge, Door and Tailgate
Use Multi-Purpose Grease Spray D7AZ-19584-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specifications ESR-M1C159-A and ESB-M1C106-B to lubricate door and tailgate hinges. Apply an even coat to all hinge pivot points as outlined in the maintenance schedules or when a binding or squeaking condition occurs.
