did a search on this site, but came up with nothing. i was wondering if i was to change the other 3 window switchs on the driver's side door panel, to an automatic switch like the driver's window, would it work? or could you do it, but need to add some extra wiring?

just thought it would be a good mod to do, since most of your high end cars like volvo, bmw, merc. benz all have automatic window switches on the driver's side. just push it down and let go, and the window keeps coming down.

from what i've read on some other sites, yes you can. the drivers switch is a momentary switch, which means that it get a constant signal at the click.
no extra wires. havent done it myself yet, but it's on the list to do

i will check on it today, would like to find some at a junk yard or something if possible. they probably would want to sell you the whole panel instead of one little switch.

I understood this was all done in the PCM not at the switch.

ithink bushpilot maybe right on this one. i took mine apart and there is one plug that goes into the 4 window switches box. i took that apart and there is one computer board that connects to the plug. and the switches them selves are all made into one housing. unless somebody knows something about this mod, it doesn't look like it would work.:dunno
