Manual to power windows

[Tuffregal83]

My question is for a buddy that has a 87 Monte SS with manual windows and he wants to put power windows in it do I have to change wire harness/fuse panel or does the car have the pigtails under the dash somewhere. I know sometimes GM made one harness and would just as fuses and a wire were it was needed. Car is a few hours from me but I can have him look before I take the drive.
Thanks

Are you using donor doors? Curious because I want to do my 78. I am going to use these, though.

My buddy put them in his 85 442, and said they make a night and day difference over factory.

in order for us to answer any questions about the SS your buddy will have to transfer ownership of the SS to you.....

I'm sure him and I have parts layin around to make it work with factory wires and plugs

IIRC, there’s a circuit breaker and plug that gets added into the fuse block, runs off the accessory fuse. On my 84, power windows were a separate harness, as well as the power locks.

I think the passenger side wires run in the main dash harness. Drop the glovebox and kickpanel to poke around.

To answer your question, the harness will need to be added. I did this swap about a year and a half ago. I sourced the harness and switches and all that from ebay.
