I know but it's a fine line what people are willing to pay for stuff. For the time it takes me I still make some money. The convenience for having power windows or power locks is nice but people shy away of having to pay $500 or more for the feature that will most likely help out in the trade or something when its time to sell. But the same person will spring $2500 on a stereo system that a dealer could care less about or would prefer that you remove it. Deal with it everyday.

Where do you tap into for the power on the window kit? Can't seem to find a source without blowing a fuse! Sorry to bother you and thanks for the help.

Thanks for the reply. Where behind the dash is the blue/green wire located? I actually have the kit installed and working and looks good, but I tapped into a constant power source and would rather hook into an accessory or ignition switch. Thanks

Hey kcautosound

I just installed the power window setup from A1 Electric on my F150 and power doorlock keyless entry as well. I set up my switches much like you only reversed the window/ door lock switch. Well when I went to put my door panel back on, I found out that there's not enought clearence to fit the switches! How did you overcome that problem? I hope your not gonna say cut the doors! Thanks...

yeah

I was a dumbass and didn't check before I cut the holes in the door panel. I figured if he put his switches there, I'll do the same. Learning the hard way!!

Cutting a small area of the door shoud not be that big of a deal just make sure the wires clear when the window goes up and down
