power window wiring

i see that both legs of a 5pin switch rest at ground.will it be ok if i connect the driver switch legs to the pass switches legs with a on and of switch to control the power supply to passenger switch to avoid a short.even if the passenger supply switch is off,it will still have ground on their legs. when pressing driver switch can send a +pulse to one of the the legs of the passenger switch which has ground on it.can that cause a short.or should they just never be pressed together in different directions to avoid short.i dont think its shorting out on 3 wire power window kits.i cannot find a diagram on the net to see how these switches get wired without shorting it out.all i want to do is to fit a extra 5wire switch on the driver door panel to operate the passenger wihout any shorting.Do it once,do it right - This means no short cuts. You never get paid twice for having to do the job twice because it wasn't done right the first time.

No the way a window switch is wired in your case, both motor legs sit at ground. These two wires then go over to the remote (passenger) switch where they become the two ground legs. A separate 12V+ feed joins them which should be your original fused feed to both switches, 25 amps, either from battery feed to fuse box or ignition switched (optional) via a relay. You seem to have the original wiring arse over tit. I'll do a diagram for you. Are you using Spal 5 terminal switches?

I'm not sure,but I bought everything loose,that is why I'm fitting a extra switch.I'm having problems uploading.I will appreciate the diagram.thanks for your patience. Do it once,do it right - This means no short cuts. You never get paid twice for having to do the job twice because it wasn't done right the first time.

I see that one picture went through.the picture I have uploaded is exactly the same one I'm ising,just that I have single switches and I used my own wiring.Do it once,do it right - This means no short cuts.

This is the wiring for two switches, one motor:- 2_switch_window_wiring.png By the way loose that POS blue connector lower right of photo, rubbish, we're not allowed to use them.

Google this Spal power windows wiring diagram. second row down, second from right. Yours looks like a cheap Chinese copy of a Spal but the wiring will be the same.

I have to tell you that about 45 years ago when I did my first set, I couldn't get my head around the wiring, blew about 5 fuses before I got it.

Hi Howie! I really appreciate.I would go with the diagram you did.your diagram makes it clear that there's now way for shorts.I learned something else today.I'm those type that cannot sleep unless I figure something out.I'm just going to draw it over so that the driver can be on the right side Do it once,do it right - This means no short cuts.

Sleep? You're in the same time zone! (But about 6000 miles south). BTW I should have done it that way, we're also right hand drive.

No no,I'm just saying,its 8h00pm now,just got dark now.Do it once,do it right - This means no short cuts. You never get paid twice for having to do the job twice because it wasn't done right the first time.
