Power windows, automatic modification?, I want the power windows to be automatic...sort of... Options

[GriffGirl]

Hey, while you have all that stuff taken apart (if you have the door panels off as well) would you mind taking detailed pictures of stuff? I need to see how/where the window motor mounts, the door lock actuator, and if possible, where the wiring harness plugs in beneath the dash. I have all these parts with no idea as of yet as to where to plug the wiring harness in!

ahh...sorry GriffGirl...I didn't take the door panel off, just the control module and that have been put together again.
I will open up the door panel sometime this summer but I have to fix some exterior stuf first so it will probably be a couple of weeks until I do the doors again...

D/AUTO...haha

Ugglan, did you soldered the diode correctly? Coz im looking at the LED and its neg side is on the left and u have ur diode's neg on the right...

[Ugglan]

Lubo: Yeah, it is right...tried it both ways and only light up the way I soldered it, and I am quit good at those basic electric stuf...

No worries, just thought I'd try 'n' strike while the iron is hot. I'll start a thread. Thx!

Griffgirl, the door panel takes no more than 2 minutes to remove with basic tools. That being said, I'll have mine off anyways here in the next couple days and can take pics if you like!

hmm, my drivers side goes all the way up and down with 1 press.
on both my GT and GT4.

vsideboy: congratulations to you! just a small question, can ju stop it in the middle?
do you know how the inside looks? is there a DEI module?...but it sounds strange that both your car should have that feature and it would not be standard...
so i guess that some of the european models just don't have that function....

Sorry mate, I didn't mean to sound like I was having a go. I was more confused than anything, I thought all models did it.

Both my cars have been Jap Imports so maybe the european ones don't have the feature (I will try to find someone with a UK model and see what theirs does.)

And yes I can stop it half way.

The button for the drivers window has 4 positions, whereas the passenger one only has 2 positions. They both have the first notch of hold it and it moves up/down until you let go, then the drivers has an extra one so if you goto this second notch then it starts to go on its own until you press the button to the first notch again or it has travelled fully and got to its limit of travel.


Nothing out of the ordinary in there mate, like I said I thought it was a standard feature. I've had mine to pieces loads of times, anyway if I remember and I get time I will take mine apart and see if my pcb looks different to yours but from memory I think its pretty mugh the same.

(I will try to find someone with a UK model and see what theirs does.)

The facelift UK one has driver's down only. I don't know about pre-facelift. From memory, the down is only one position - a momentary press of down will send it down all the way, holding it down, pressing down again or pressing down then up will stop it part way.

I'm pretty sure that the lack of auto-up is a safety feature for the UK and US market. I guess Japan doesn't have quite the sue culture that we do.

So does anyone know of a Toyota or Lexus with auto-down on both driver and passenger windows?

don't know of any off hand, but even if you were to get 1 then I doubt it would be as simple as replacing the switch, you'd need to swap the whole control unit that switches the relay on and off I would expect.

Good old Japan don't care if your child gets its head stuck in the window haha! Stupid UK Human rights people!! It'll do the kids good, never did me any harm getting my head stuck in things!


Personally I wouldn't have thought it would matter because we don't have a frame around the wondow so at worst all it would do would be push the window out away from the body of the car?

Thanks! I'm sending you a PM so we can keep this thread clean.
