I have a problem with my window rollup. The vehicle database has my Drivers side window as a brown wire. I cut the wire and hooked up the motor side and the switch side. That doesnt work. All my other windows roll up but my drivers side. Does my one touch roll down on the drivers side have anything to do with the problem that i have? Maybe someone can point out the right wire to roll down my window?

Thanks it was the dark blue. The only thing about this window module is when i lock the doors from the switch on the inside the windows still roll up. Is there anyway to isolate the rollup from the switch and only work when you push the lock button on the remote start?

I have a window module that i am having problems with triggering wise. I tapped into the red lock wire on my RS and the module works as expected. However, not only do the windows rollup when i push the lock button but also when i push any lock/unlock button either on the remote or even in the car. While i am driving if i hit the lock/unlock in the door the dang windows roll up one by one. How can i wire something up so the window module will only rollup when i push the lock on the remote?

Use the ground when armed wire of the remote start instead of the lock wire.

Split the lock output of the APS620 with 2 diodes. 1 will go to the window module, the other will go to the lock wire in the car. That way they won't feedback into each other.

I believe that car has a (-) lock wire. Use 1N4001 diodes... available at Radioshack.
