I think I have diagnosed this problem properly and could find anything relating to it in a search. Anyone have any issues like this? I installed a DEI 530t roll up/down module last fall integrated with an alarm install. All functions have worked flawlessly until the temperatures in Phonenix have climbed into the high 90's. Now, by around noon or so, both windows will not roll up automatically when I arm the alarm system. Using the manual switches the "one touch up/down" still works on both doors and "remote vent" and "remote roll down" still work on both sides. Once the car cools off the "roll up at arming" will begin to function again. I have confirmed that my alarm system is still properly providing the ground signal when the alarm arms so I can't see it being anything other than a bad module. Anyone disagree before I go to the trouble of taking the 530t module out for repair or replacement? Thanks, ------------- Dave W.

What is the vehicle, probably a chevy truck? I too live in AZ and the temp can play with the resistances of the windows, this will cause the module to think that the window is all the way up when it is not. You could change the resistance settings using the dipswitches on the side of the window module.

Nope, it's a 98 Eclipse and I tried to max out the dip switches already for the highest amp draw and it still didn't work. I can even have the window halfway up and be pulling the glass up with my hands as the alarm arms but it doesn't even try to apply any power. No relays clicking like you would expect to hear when it reaches the amp limit. Thanks for the input.

Follow up: Installed a new 530T module last weekend and it's been 102 to 104 here in Phoenix . So far the windows have been rolling up just fine when I arm the system. It will be close to 110 by the weekend so it will get the full test soon. Apparently the old module fails when the temperature gets above 110-120 in the interior of the car like when parked in the sun. It works again once the car is cooled by running the A/C or if I park in the shade. ------------- Dave W.

Where are you getting your power wires for the 530T from?

If you are asking about the 530T main power source I picked up 12V inside the car from a fuse box near the drivers kickpanel. +12V constant supply.
