Quote: You may be right but looking at the schematic, while I do see the pre war switches are different, it looks as if they might work. Power comes in on terminal 1 & pushing one direction looks like term 2 energizes & causes pump solenoid to come in for one direction. Appears pushing the other direction causes 4 to energize the other solenoid. I would think those might work for the actuator by operating relays to switch polarity. Terminal 3 must come in for both as it just operates the cylinder valve so would no longer be used..

EDIT: Didn't realize no wiring in doors, so yes that is a bit more of project. Could the wires be run in a hose similar to what must be going to cylinder and have it look stock? Also, not sure I would totally eliminate the spring but maybe change to a much lighter one. Guess determining if needed would depend on whether anything would vibrate if no tension applied.
