Automatic Windows All around?
Automatic Windows All around?
Was thinking about this tonight at work. Is there away to make all windows automatic in the fit? Like with the driver window where you tap it and it rolls all the way down? I was thinking just ordering 3 of the driver switches and putting it in the spot of the other 3? Or would that not work? Any input would be nice. And it's not needed, but would be a nice feature if I could at it. Just for convinence no real purpose.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Damn... Would there be anyway to do it if that is the case? I was gonna try and pull the panel apart tomorrow since its so late here already.
. Thanks!

Window automation
So, as promised....
Find and buy two DEI (Directed Electronics Inc) 530T window automation modules. DEI is the manufacturer of Viper alarm systems - any audio shop will know who they are. I got mine from Ebay a couple years ago. These modules give you one-touch down AND one-touch up, for two windows per module. If you have an aftermarket alarm system, you can tie it in to the modules' inputs for remote roll-down and roll-up, although I did not use this option.
To tie in to the wiring harnesses, I found a good spot for the modules themselves to live - in the empty space of the dash just to the right of the fuse access panel. The wires for the driver's window I fished through the door grommet and tied in just below the switch. The other wires I tied in to the harness just inside the driver's side kick panel (the one the Zeta dead pedal mounts by), because it was easier to fit everything there. The modules came with plenty of wire on their harnesses to reach everything. I used Positap connectors to tie in to the vehicle harness.
While I was doing this, I also installed a DEI 545T headlight module, which has a sensor and turns on my headlights for me. (Yes, I am lazy sometimes.) The sensitivity is such that they come on sooner than I would like, but I have never bothered to adjust it from factory default.
I would be happy to share more details at a future date, but I slid out on some ice and ate a curb today, so first I have to fix my baby. If anyone wants, PM me and I'll throw together something with pictures once I get the time.

I thought this at first too, and I'm pretty good with a soldering iron and multimeter, so I opened the case up and checked out the circuitry. The board integrates the safety control which limits closing force (in case of somebody in window opening while it is being closed) and the auto-down feature, but a duplicate circuit would be needed for each of the other window circuits. So, you would need 3 more switch modules, plus do some custom rigging to get it all in the door cavity.... just not practical.
