530t DEI window module problems

Hey guys... This is for a 1999 Dodge Dakota 5.2 4x4 Automatic. here's the question - alarm is clifford rs-2 but the problem is with a 530t (windows up/down module).

down works, however up sometimes doesn't. i connected the orange wire to the orange output from the brain (the orange from the brain provides ground). When i arm the vehicle sometimes only ONE of the windows will roll up, and i have to arm/disarm again to make the other one go up.

Going down is no problem (well slight problem - its not even. Once the driver's side goes down all the way the system shuts off and the passenger side is left a tad up..).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

did you install a diode inline at the starter kill relay on the orange wire? If you look at the starter kill relay socket, the opposite side of the orange wire is the yellow wire that goes to ignition. The ignition  wire will show ground when the key is not on and this will inherently affect the orange wire and anything you have hooked up to it.

The diode installs inline past your 500/530T orange wire connection. The cathode (silver stripe) on the diode goes toward the alarm side. Hope this helps.

P.S. it works on/off - sometimes it will roll up all the windows, sometimes it won't.

I have a 1amp diode on the wire coming out of the brain.. it goes like this:

orange wire from the brain is connected to orange wire from the 530t (ground when armed wire). Those two are connected to the (striped side) diode, and the other end of the diode goes back into the starter kill.

Hope that makes my question even more clear..

Thanks.

I was thinking about resistance but thought that since they roll down fine it would be ok, I'll try it again in a little bit.

Both windows work fine regardless of temperature...

Thanks for the tips, I'll try it and let you know.

you ARE the man.

Thanks.
