You also need 3 more short wiring harnesses. A right and left from each door motor to under the dash and a 3rd one from the main harness to the switches. It took me the longest time to figure out which harnesses they were and I had a complete harness from the same year strung 25 feet across the floor. Have an enlarged wiring diagram printed off, including all of the plug diagrams. With masking tape and a magic marker start identifying sub-harnesses and connectors. I remember lots of red and green wires in the sub-harnesses. You can dl the manuals from the following link.

Not a fun job since the radio and center console needs pulled.

First one I did was a 83 S model and the harness was in place for the window switches. I don't remember if I had to get the one from the motors to the connector harness or not?

What year was the one you did Trochoid?
