I have a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT that I have installed a Crimestopper remote start and it works exactly like it is supposed to. I would like to use the unused truck activation to roll down the windows. Does any one have an idea how to do it?

You need a window module. Here is one:

Is there no way to activate it from the outputs on a alarm? Mine sends a momentary negative pulse to the output. It will also send a solid negative pulse to the wire for as long as you hold the button down. I tried putting in a relay to switch itover to a positive pulse but it didn't work.

don't buy a module you can do it yourself for cheap.. the module's jsut a bunch've relays. first off i think you kinda need to know what kinda switching system your windows use. that's the tricky part. i have aftermarket power windows. with mine the motor leads are usually 'floating'. when they need to be moved the switch sends +12v to one lead and a ground to the other. when it needs to be moved in the other direction the current is just reversed. i'm not sure how stock windows are normally wired but i imagine they are similar to door locks. check the relays page on different door lock switch configurations.

basically it's the same idea except instead of 'lock' and 'unlock' motor leads you have 'up' and 'down' window motor leads. with my windows i would use the 4wire reversal setup. also if you want you can use a latching relay you use a single channel on your alarm to make the windows go up and down. the latching relay basically redirects your alarm signal to either your 'up' relays or 'down' relays. otherwise you can only have one direction.

Drivers window Up: wht/blk and Down: red

Passenger Window Up: tan/lt.blu and Down: wht/yel

They are Type A at drivers door motor

The whole idea behind a window module is that they only require a pulse to trigger them and they will roll all the wayy up or down depending on ghow you set it up, and then stop once the window is up or down. if you just use your own relay setup then you have to watch the windows.

Hey jrilla, is the difference between that module, andthe dei 530t, that this one doesn't "vent" the windowsor add "1-touch"? Just curious. Thanks.

I have about 20 spdt relays, can I do the windows roll up and down with them and put special switch to stop the window or put a timer relay,
