ok so im tired of my manual locks and windows. I lost both my clips that roll down the window so the handles never stay on. I have a power locks and windows fuse in my fusebox as well. is it there for the option? i havent really pulled off any of the panels to see if i have the motor in there but im assuming i dont since its a manual. I wanted to swap with power doors but i dont want to half ass this job. I was wondering if it can be done or would it be cheaper to just get the motor and replace the panels?
 
Easiest thing is to find 2 doors with power options complete with interior panels, and hopefully same color as car. I dont know if you have the base model or the RS, but most of the RS models (unlike the base Talon) have the necessary harness wiring in place, so that all you have to do is plug in the door harness into the door jamb connector. I dont know if necessary wiring exists in the base model (95-96) harness. You will also have to put in any necessary fuses/relays required to support the power windows and power locks, since the factory will have left those locations empty. Mirrors, I dunno, as a minimum you would need the switch for the blank panel to the left of the instrument cluster, so check that the pigtail exists for that, or just use your manual mirrors in the power doors.

well i have an RS and all fuses and realys are already in just arent being used so i basically use the spot for fuse holders LOL. im not too concerned if i dont have power mirros just as long as i have power locks and windows this manual stuff is just driving me nuts
