help with kit

Post by gareth_mattey »

Hi, well ive got my electric window kit for my corsa, got passenger side handle with switch in but trying to figure out where the drivers side switches go? As not on a door handle but some other shape of plastic that's meant to fot somewhere. If anyone has vauxhall electric windows in they're car, please could you help.

Thanks

on the door pocket jst on the curve right next to the speaker.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

Well garage said he wanted see what kit was like before give price, so took it this morning and some other guy said its not worth them fitting it as not new and would need new universal kit. What a waste of time. Didn't say that in the first place. Don't want a universal kit as one was in when bought the car and was poo. Need find another garage fit it now if I can.

its really simple just make sure before you start you have some small bolts that will fit on the mounting points of the vauxhall electric window bracket bit. otherwise you'l have your one out and not be able to mount your new one in.

Well it should already have the correct holes in door etc as had electrics when bought it but garage took them out as crap kit. I've no idea where all the wires go, like 5 different connections on the door loom lol.

yea the one is for electric mirrors, others for tweeter, (they should all be on the one bit of loom) and then on the main loom you will have the main speaker plug, then the plug for the electric windows, then a plug for the central locking. but some of the plugs might not have been used even tho they are in the loom due to the specification of your corsa when it was new.
