Seeing if anyone had an idea or diagram I could borrow to add one touch up and down features to an old gm 3 wire power window setup. The problem I'm having is the aftermarket units dei or autoloc are setup for the 5 wire type with the switching ground. The motors on the old cars ground themselves at the mounting points on the door. Any ideas or help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

Test the wiring at the switches. If one goes to ground and the other goes to 12V+ for one direction then they change over for the other direction, then use what DEI call type "A".
