hi guys, my civic has 3 settings on the drivers side widow switch.

1-roll down

2-roll up

3-roll all the way down without having to hold the rocker switch down.

my question is, would it bepossible to have that same function (#3) for rolling up the window also?

thanks guys,

Mark

The DEI 530T Window Automation System will do 2 windows up and down w/ a tap of the switch.  It can also interconnect to your alarm to roll the windows up during arming by using the orange starter kill wire, or crack/ fully roll down using an auxilary channel.  The only thing u need to get used to is when u want to crack the window from the switch.  U will have to hold the button down for a little longer than a tap, or tap it to start the roll down and tap again to stop.  It takes a little getting used to, but is well worth it when u want to roll down the windows before getting into the car on a hot summer day.

I was wondering if there was a way to rig it up without buying more equipment, aside from relays and cheaper things like that

but thanks, Mark

These types of cicuits work w/ current limiters, they're kind of like resettable cicuit breakers.  Once the window is fully up or down, continuing to add power increases current since the window has no more room to go.  The circuit realizes this increases in current and breaks the circuit to stop applying power. 

I guess you can get 2 timed relay modules, 1 for each window.  These have a dial that you adjust for the amount of time you need for the window to roll up.  But, if you don't have the timer set perfectly or the window all the way down, the window motor will get stressed since power will continue being applied after it is already up.  This will strain the motor and eventually kill it.  I'd rather pay the $60 for the DEI module than hundreds of $ to replace the window motors.  Quit being cheap!
