I have a 98 S10 extended cab LS with manual windows and locks. If I purchased complete doors with power windows and locks, does my S10 have the wiring harness to plug the new doors into essentially creating a plug and play with the door swap?

Probably not, but fabbing one for the windows and mirrors wouldn't be that difficult if you are any good with vehicle electrical stuff. Or you could remove the harness from the truck you are taking the doors off.
The locks, on the other hand, are pretty involved and require that you get the BCM and the remote receiver along with a lot of wiring. Best have someone expert in wiring do those. Like a local auto stereo and alarm shop.

Jeseitz, probably the best and "easiest" way to convert to power windows and locks is to find a source vehicle from the same generation as your 98 S-10 and grab all of the harnesses connected to the windows and locks. In addition to these electrical components, such as motors, switches, relays, etc., you will also need to remove the window regulators--part that hold windows and moves them up/down. Buying whole doors may turnout to be more expensive as you will be paying for the door inner structure and outer skins. One recommendation is to take A LOT of pictures as you dismantle both doors.

When I did this conversion on my 87 El Camino, I opted to buy and install new switches, motors, relays, and actuators to eliminate potential issues in case there were problems. That being said, as we car junkies all know, just because it is new doesn't mean it will always work like it is supposed to! Good luck!

i put 2002 doors on my 1996. theni went to autoloc.com and purchased their power door kit. installed door, wired up the wiring kit, and it was super easy. Much easier than tryin to make the s10 doors work with s10 wiring. Plus if you have an alarm, its easy t make it all be operated by the remote.

i did this on my wife's truck.

i bought power window door panels, lock actuators, and switches from a local junkyard. i bought new window motors and regulators to avoid any hassle. be advised that they are held in with 1/4" pop rivets, which the usual rivet gun cannot do. harbor freight has you covered for one.

i ran new power wiring into the doors for everything. obviously, there needs to be a wire from the left to right for driver control of the passenger window. i'll attach a schematic of the power window circuit for your reference.

Use screws/bolts instead of pop rivets in case u ever have to change the motor assembly
