Awhile back I posted looking for a diagram of the factory window wiring... someone provided the link for that (thank you), but I still can't get it to work for the life of me. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to install the electric life power windows, but instead of using the provided switches, used the factory switch module? I have a pin layout, and the dealership has already told me that they don't believe any kind of bus system is involved, so it should be pretty straight forward. However, then I connect the power and ground to the factory switch module, and test the up and down function on any given switch, it will energize a particular pin when up is pressed, but down does nothing on any pin. This holds true regardless of which window you are testing. Also, if i connect both lines from a particular window to the corresponding pins, and then press up, it seems the current travels from the pin that was energized, through the line running to the motor, back up through the second line running to the motor, and then energizes all the rest of the pins. Down, as I mentioned, does nothing. I spoke to the guy who works at electric life, as well as the head mechanic at the dealership... neither has a solution. And, they both think, based off of my explanation, that it should work... but as neither has ever tried it, they don't know for sure. So... yea... I'm stuck. Anyone that has an idea, feel free to share.

edit: btw...this is for a 2011 Wrangler Unlimited 4 Door Sport... the factory switch module I had to order, as my model didn't come with power windows.

 

All of the control systems ( inputs ) in our Jeep wire back to or report to the TIPM modual. Then, the control systems ( outputs ) leave the TIPM modual and run to their respective devices. How the logic works to control these devices . But, if you have bypassed the TIPM, then you have pypassed some very important hardware in the control schem. So, theoretically, you could wire the OEM switch modual pack to the TIPM modual. Then wire the new window motors back to the TIPM modual. Then, have your computer reflashed to control the system.

 

i actually have the tipm printed out, but have no idea which spot to feed off of... crummy. but yea, it seems thats my best option... just need to know where to connect to
