Has anyone removed the power window switch and replaced it with a Metal Toggle Switch?

I was thinking of mounting 2 safety switches below my window switches. I thought it may look odd having two plastic switches then two industrial switches.

 

Bump. anyone?

 

From what i can tell if

7 - WDO - Window Up Pass(when up this is V+, and nomraly Grounded)
3 - WDO - Window Down Pass(when down this is V+, Normaly Grounded)

13 - WDO - Window Down Driver (when down this is V+, Normaly Grounded)
14 - WDO - Window Up Driver (when up this is V+, and nomraly Grounded)

Then i should be able to pull the ground and ignition
12 - Power - IGN_RA - F30
4 - Ground Z910

Tie them into a DPDT with center OFF momentary contact. One for left and one for right and use this to reverse the polarity on the motor.

Anyone have idea or suggestions? feel free to chime in. Once i finish i will make a writeup for it.

 

I not sure if I can help. Like I mentioned in you other thread. I'm pretty sure that just a plain switch will work. I'm not sure if they are switching a ground ( - circuit #4 ) or a power ( + circuit #12 ). I would be afraid to go any further without knowing this 100%. Could mean the diffrence between a working window and a non working computer. From your pin out the up and down is easy. The only other component to the circuit will be the common. + or -

 

I stole this from another forum member.



I'll take a volt meter and check polarities of the wires when the switch is activated.

Switch Up= +12VDC
Switch Down= -12VDC

 

Unfortunately the resolution of your pic is too low to read the text on it..

 

If this is true. Then a regular switch will not work. The switch appears to be reversing polarity in order to get the motor to reverse. The function block drawing of the switch does not show how the contacts work. Your switch would have to have four seperate sets of normaly open contacts. One pair for up and one pair for down.You will have to break both the + and the - at the same time. Then you can make the - and the + for reverse direction. If both are not broken together. You would wind up with a short. This is a dedicated switch.

 

Yea i origionaly had to save it and use Zoom in picture viewer to see it.

I think if i wired up two switches like this it should work. one left and one right

 

Yes that will work.
PM sent. Don't forget about an interlocking circuit.

 

Hey All,

OK, I have a 2008 Unlimited, the Rear windows stopped working. Fronts are fine. I first unplugged harness at doors, cleaned and rehooked up, that didnt do it. I then did a little more online looking. I ended up just purchasing a new 5 gang switch window switch and replaced the whole window switch cluster, figuring that had to be it.... I plugged it in and NOTHING.... rears still dont work even with the rear switches. Any help would be great!!!! Thanks
