My 2003 Ram 1500 V6 3.7 2 door ST has manual locks and manual windows. I have door panel replacements for a single cab with electric switches for the locks and windows. How do I convert everything to electric correctly? I've been doing research past month and people have told me a lot of things: buy a kit, go to junk yard and pull everything off a truck, go to the dealer and order all the parts new. I'm not sure which route to go or where to go to have it done, I'm definitely not the person to try and do it myself. I want the switches in the door panels to work like as if it was factory.

By your own statement you aren't the one to be doing this have a pro give you a price for it. This may be m ore expensive than it's worth. Especially when you need motors and actuators to make that stuff work. It will all need to be wired up and protected and not hard wired to battery because it will be a good reason for a fire as well as destroying other things like modules. As old as your truck is junkyard parts are the way to go and not dealer. These parts can be picked up anywhere also due to age of vehicle. Just to give you an idea window motors are anywhere for $25-70 and that doesn 't include regulator which I'm not sure is the same so that may need replacing as well. This cold be way to expensive to do so get some pricing first.
