am presently upgradinga gls interior on a td estate(no not mine) to black leather and all electric windows etc etc, so the problem we have is have fitted and connected the rear window motors, no problem connected all the connectors up and got lights on all the switches etc fronts work fine but nothig at the rears? so am guessing that we have to either upgrade the main window controller? or fit a relay that allows the rears to work or maybe something else?  only other clue is the door lights in the new interior also dont work with the interior light so what would  that be?
I know a few people have dont the conversion so would be grateful for any advice

possibly
 but we tried turning it on and off a few times so dont think its that, the donor car had  stood for a year before we stripped it so i guess the motors colud be stuck? got to admit it tried everything in the time we had but couldnt get a peep out of them so took the motor housings off to maually wind the windows back to closed position!!

Graham, hi i have done thes conv and it was plug and play. The switch as jamie has said is where i would start and make sure that the  switch connectors are all pushed home properly. as to why the puddle lights are not working then check the plug at the bottom of the b piller has not come apart [ this will also stop the windows from working] but you have prob already done this. good luck mate.

I would still say the switch....

if the rear switches are lighting up then you have power in the doors bud !! could be jammed motors !!

Depending on the configuration, Fuse 7 controls rear windows and rear courtesy lights...
