Retrofitting power locks to a '00 YJ Cherokee

Thinking of retrofitting central power locks to my '00 YJ Cherokee.



What I'm wondering is, are the door structures and wiring harnesses on a



2000 YJ standardized enough that all I'd have to do is bolt in the correct pieces/parts from a junkyard ? I'm aware that I'd probably also have to change the (Body Control Module?)

Anybody out there been there, done that ?



I've discarded the idea of just trading the vehicle - I just paid it off and it's only got 60K miles and runs perfect. I've also discarded the idea of adding an aftermarket kit - I want something that, if there's ever a problem, can be diagnosed by anyone familiar with the OEM setup.



Thanks for any advice.

Seems to me aftermarket is the better choice. If something goes wrong, You know what's in there and can diagnose the problem yourself. I put in an aftermarket kit in a 2001 Mitsubishi 4d Mirage about 95,000 miles ago. No problems. I'll have to dig out the paperwork to see what brand it was.
