Honda CRV 2001 2 litre 90,000
Hi all just finished a 2 hour knuckle scrape yet managed to fit the window regulator on my left hand drive front passenger door, I bought the replacement window regulator complete with motor direct from Poland it was delivered here to my holiday home in the Algarve within 5 days so far so good
However when I went to clip the 4 pin connecter to the new connector ONLY TO FIND IT WAS A 2 PIN CONNECTOR ON THE REPLACEMENT PART aaaaaah
yes I know it was the first thing I should have checked before I fitted it, but my wife is here to ridicule me so she don't need extra help lol
I have managed to get the window shut by connecting the two cables from the replacement motor to a old car battery, which then gave me the option of closing the window up or down depending which way around I attached the cables to the plus or minus on the car battery
.MY QUESTION IS can it be possible to connect the two cable from the motor to the four cable connector which are standard in the door panel.
I just wondered could I fit a simple rocker type switch using the four cable connector to the new two cable window regulator motor
I have not a clue about car electrics so please keep any suggestions as simple as possible phew cheers

Why can't you send the part back and get the correct one instead of hacking up the factory wiring in the door? That would be the simplest solution IMO.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Banjoman: I think I know what the problem might be? You said "left hand drive" and neither Poland or Portugal are left hand drive countries so you probably got a right hand drive part which would not be wired as a driver's door.
Could you have that backwards in your mind? Not the side the steering wheel is the side of the road you drive on is right or left hand drive cars and exact car would have different wiring but regulator would probably fit as riveted or bolted in.
Any which way it's not the correct part.
IDK - What are your realistic options as DS suggested send it back for correct one or quite likely get the harness for a passengers car door same exact car. Look at your own wiring is that the right side of the car or left side of the car so look at the real passengers wiring - just a glance you may see where this problem happened or plain wrong as said.
Just a note - so few real OE left hand drive cars in N. America which are legal to use but expensive to ship so few of them. I've just noted that so many left/right vehicles particularly of Asian designs are frequently mirror image reversed for things like this or big word asymmetrically opposite.
In short I would hack up wiring but get right wiring or whole part as needed to do this up to taking pics of the plug you want it to be if needed.
I can't know as the window fit but might have been altered already for the other drive car?

well I know I could have send it back but it is now fitted and out of the box the reason I have asked is that is the very thing I am trying to avoid and yes I can buy a new part no problem however as its fitted if somebody has a solution it would save me another 2 hour knuckle scraping job
,and yes the part does fit the proper side of the car which is left hand drive here on Portugal and Poland it is ok it goes up and down , but thanks for the replies I know you both mean well ...
The question was does anyone know if the 2 core wiring can be connected to the four core wiring to operate the window up and down the question is aimed at somebody who knows about electrical switches who can come up with a solution ..... there is power getting to the switch on the 4 pin side
cheers happy new year 2016

We all know a lot about electrical switches and we are telling you that you can cause yourself double the headaches you have now by messing with the original circuit.
