Early to late window switch’s

[Wilko13 2]

Can anyone explain how to wire in the late switches to early loom. The late switch has half the number of wires as on the early there are two plugs however on the late it’s only 1 5 pin plug

I think I have late door looms somewhere.....

I have the late plugs and some wires was hoping to just solder them in but don’t know what wire goes where or do I need the complete loom from fuse box?

The window switches talk to a relay unit behind the driver's rear passenger card - so the loom from the switch would be going to that unit, so not sure if that is different too between early and late - I'll see if I can look up the parts.

Is it possible that early switches also carried the mirror controls, hence more wires?

Just checked the family album, and both the looms and the control relays are different - the loom also incudes central locking and remote closure of the window on the lock. Having said that, plenty of people have swapped to late door cards and mirror/window switches, so a search here might throw up something - I know the Canadian forum used to have a write up on this - but I think that went dark a few years back.

Can you use the early switched in the late door cards? Worst case would be getting the diagrams and tracing each wire pin out by colour and matching them up.
