530t window module on 09 mazdaspeed 3

Wonder if I can get away with "sodding" connectors?

howie, or anyone else who might know for that matter, I have a couple questions about the 530t module. I spent the better part of the day today installing one of my modules. I fought with getting the wires through the stupid door connectors for a good hour and a half. I was getting some very odd behavior from the unit that i installed, as in it would work for about ten seconds, then quit, then work again. I tried switching the number 5 polarity switch back and forth a couple times, and it would work, then stop working. Then it would work again if i took the fuse out of the const +12v input and then put it back in, and then would stop working again. I finally swapped the unit out for the other module that I bought, and what do you know, everything worked perfect. So I am guessing one of my modules is faulty and I am going to try to get it swapped out asap. That was not my question however. I am wondering about the polarity of the small switches that adjust resistance and specifically switch number 5 which toggles the polarity. The second module that i tried out (the one that works correctly) seems to work correctly no matter what position i put the number 5 toggle switch in. That doesnt seem right to me since my window system is type A, and the module should be looking for + inputs only right? If that is the case i do not understand why it works correctly in both positions. The other question is this, which freaking setting is on and which is off for the toggle switches? Looking at the diagram in the install manual is quite confusing because it shows a little ON with an arrow point down right below it, and i dont know if that means that the on position is at the top, or it's saying to push it down to have it be on. If you look at the 530t install manual i think you will see what i mean about which direction is which, it is a little confusing, or maybe its just me...

First rule, if it works, don't worry about those damn switches! The manual should explain them better than I can.

yea thats what my buddy told me, if it works dont worry about it lol. Is there any way to bench test the 530t to make sure it's defective?

nevermind about the bench test i searched and found out that i can't do that...

Howard did you get promoted or have i never noticed ur status?

so can anyone provide a better explanation of the switches? The manuals explanation is garbage...

First t&t you should contact the moderators. Second, scam404, go through the archives, either Mike M2 or Mark Mizenko did a definitive on the switches about 2 years ago.

howie, was that a thread started by one of them? When I search for 530t there are not threads coming up started by either of them.

Not sure, about 2 years ago, try looking at posts under the 530t or window closer setting.
