Hello,
New to this forum - But I hope someone out there can assist me.
I have a 2006 Dodge Caravan with no power locks or windows. Very basic simple van that I bought used in 2007. It only has 13,000 miles and is in great shape.
I am wanting to install power door locks so my wife can hit a keychain button when she approaches the car with our daughter. I have decent electrical knowledge and have built a classic truck etc...so I know I can do this. I have also found a kit on JC Whitney for either a 2 or 4 door.
My only question is without existing wiring into the two front doors or sliders there is no wiring sleve or conduit style device between the body and the doors. With a sliding door I have no idea how that would even work. My in-laws have power sliding doors on their 2005 and they have a track with wiring on it at the bottom but I have no idea how this would work in my situation.
As I look through the kits from JCW they look like thay are designed for a car only. I called the dealer and they told me they probably couldn't help and it would need to be for an aftermarket kit and taken to a local shop to retrofit it.
I don't care to do the work myself. I am just not sure how to make this work witout the wire chase and sliding doors also seem very complicated.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated....
