Sorry on the delay, been so busy haven’t had the time to even look at the car, anyway enough excuses here’s the details:

I borrowed this part from the ford probe owner’s site:

Ok here we go first you need to make sure you have an alarm fitted that already operates the C/L on your car otherwise this won’t work.
Second you need to purchase a Electric Window/Sunroof Interface from Maplin Electronics, here’s a link to the product you require http://www.maplin.co.uk/products/mod...630&Products=1
Here’s a brief description of how it works…the window interface is wired into the existing wiring going to the window control panel on the drivers door, it can be fitted completely into the drivers door without running any wires back to the alarm! The instructions that come with the interface tell you that you have to run a wire back to a negative pulse on your alarm… wrong you don’t have to at all, when you press the remote key fob on your alarm the doors lock or should do if they don’t leave now this mod is not for you, if they do then were ok. The signal wire that told your doors to lock when you pressed the fey fob is a Negative pulse and will do the job perfectly, ok enough explanations lets get down to business.

1 Remove R/H door card (simple)
2 Remove speaker (even easier)
3 Locate the multi plug that connects into the R/H door window control panel (bigger of the two)

4. Now the tricky bit, connecting up the wires, It’s quite straightforward really. I like to solder my connections and then shrink-wrap then it makes the install look much neater.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay now for the wires, these are slightly different to the probe. The colours are the same, but there's no 12v live feed on the multi plug:

Green/White trace (from the multi plug) - cut wire and solder green wire in from interface. The other end of the wire that was cut solder on the white wire from the interface (the white wire must be fitted to the switch side of the wire. If I remember correctly this operates the right window.

Now for the left window. Green/Blue trace (from the multi plug) cut the wire in half from the plug, and solder in the blue and brown wires from the interface. Make sure the brown wire gets soldered to the switch side.

Black (from interface) gets soldered / joined to the black wire (earth).

Orange wire (from interface) is used for the activation. Find the 6 pin plug that operates the central locking, (near rear of door) and join the orange wire onto the green wire on this.

Pink (from interface) not used

This now only leaves the red wire from interface (positive) to be connected.
Slightly above the 6 pin plug that operates the central locking is another plug (4 pin) that goes to the door handle. You need to find the blue/red wire, there are 2 wires of the same color on this 4 pin plug, so you need to put a test meter on each 1 until you find the positive 1 of the 2. And then connect it to the positive.

And that’s it! Shouldn’t take much longer than 2 hrs to do max. Haven’t had the time to sort the sunroof out yet, but will post details once I sorted it.
