ford ranger power windows

I am adding an aftermarket power window kit to my 2000 Ford Ranger and every thing was going great until I had to wire in a power source. First I wired it into the radio and that didn’t go over well, so I started to think where I could splice it in to. So I was looking around in the owner’s manual and I noticed that there is a fuse for power windows in my fuse box. So I took out the fuse box to see where the wire goes and I can’t see it with out cutting out a bunch of stuff. So I looked at the wire and it is a red wire with a light blue stripe. Then I looked on this site to see where that wire goes and it said that it was the starter motor. So to check this I took the fuse out of the box and started the car and it started and every thing was working properly, but before I splice in to it I really want to know what the wire goes to. I know that newer cars are all ready wired for all the options but the wires that are in my door panel are different then the one that goes to the fuse. Can any one help me out with my problem?

you should tap into a higher current 12v source like your ignition. As for windows, some require you to go into your door panel to wire it directly to the power window motor legs. If the power window wires can be accessed in your driver kick panel, then you are triggering factory relays that will rolldown/up the windows.

the wires in my drivers door are; yellow with a black stripe, green with orange stripe, light blue with a white stripe and black. also the wires that are in the doors are smaller then the ones that are connected to my aftermarket window motor.
