I noticed that the harness in the back doors has the plugs needed for electric windows. So Iv got the motors and switchers, but when connected they have no power. Iv had a look in the wiki but can seem to find anything. Is this worth doing or just a pain?

Yea I thought it might be a fuse, do I have to bother with the switches in the centre console? I haven't checked to see if the harness has the plugs

Rear windows won't work unless you fit all three extra switches in the centre console, as well as the two on the back doors themselves.
No extra fuses, relays, etc. If the door loom is present, just fit the switches and motor mechs.
All switch positions are already partly cut out, and just need finishing with a craft knife.

Cool Iv got the door cards so don't have to blank out the winder holes. I'm a assuming I can just cut out the switch holes in the centre console
