Door question. At a junkyard now


Recommended Posts

things like slight option differences - heated side view mirrors, addition of a door lock switch, and the bottom foot area light on some.

 

then of course the interior trim and exterior paint/cladding/decals may differ slightly.

 

but it will bolt up and plug in and work just fine. swap the interior bits off the old door to match.

Also the guy at the yard said 1996 doors are a one year deal?
they interchange just fine and are the same *door*. but there are wiring differences. i forget exactly but i think in 1996 you had to use the toggle of the door lock, at the handle to lock/unlock the doors, and the 96 doesn't have a button. later models also had an electrical button in the panel.

 

some models also have foot lights down really low in the bottom rear corner that the 96 doesn't have.

 

but again those are trim/electrical differences - they still interchange and swap and interior bits swap too. going from a later model onto a 96 won't matter - you'll loose options you never had!! if you installed 96 door onto a 98 you wouldn't have the wiring for those extra lights/switch - so you'd loose those or have to swap the entire wire harness in the door.

 

i've done these 96/non-96 swaps before and while i might have some specifics off, that's pretty accurate.
