2001 f150 xl manual to power
Morning. I have a 2001 f150 4.2, 164 k original. Km.have upgraded to step bars,grille,rear slider. I am in the process of converting Manual to power options. I had donor vehicle for harness, regulators,mirrors,new door panels and switches. Ps..took couple extra switches to be safe. Removed panels,dash,removed Wire harness and cut in half for simplicity. Take a punch to center of pop rivets and hammer out for regulators, then take chisel on a 45 angle and hammer out remaining rivet...pretty easy. Have reinstalled power regulators,mirrors,and locks . Have placed wire harness into factory area on both doors, ran wire into interior, fed wire under dash to fuse box area and joined all cut wires together. I tested items BEFORE installing. Now, I have factory plugs by driver emergency brake area. Now I need switched power supply .
I notice on new harness an extra plug I presume for power, grounds,etc. Can I get a donor connector, plug it in and plug directly into unused socket on side of fuse box? I removed fuse box from donor truck and looks identical to mine. I don't require key fob for now , or alarm system. Just want to control mirrors and Windows while driving basically. Don't want to butcher lines either. Any input..can provide photos tks..Tom
