Yeah, your DX dash harness is not wired for power windows, so "plug and play" with stock parts would require replacing the whole harness.

I think the simplest thing to do would be to swap a manual regulator into the new door. The door frame is going to be the same. Really if your only problem is a broken window, just swap the glass out into your old door. Jump a battery to the motor to roll the mechanism down so you can take the bolts out.

i wanted to do the conversion, so the window breaking was just pushing me along for it, my track was shot on the old door too
