Thread: Electric Windows mod

Just push & release the front window down button/s to make the window go all the way down without having to hold the button down until the window is all the way down. That's alot of down ...

Doesn't work for the rear windows.

Shouldn't need modding.
Thought they all did that anyway, I know mine does, as per Fluids post.

I'd like exactly the opposite,to make windows go all the way up with a simple press off the switch,an electronic guru around here?

Thanks Guys. Well I have only just got the car and I dont reckon thats working then, but I will have more of a play.

And yes Fatman, thats what i really want to but thought I'd get shot down by everyone cos of the "dangers" etc. My old Navara had auto up as well and if something got in the way, it just cut off.

Hey guys,

Just my 2c worth (or is that 5c now?).

IIRC this is one of those "dealer configurable" options. It's one of the things that is set in the Body (I think) ECU. Along with other useful things like DRL, and ignition key warnings, and auto lock at speed, and and ..... There's lots more.

On the latest incarnations of Range Rover some of these options can be configured through the Touch screen/MID.

Depending upon your vehicle this is probably alterable with a Nanocom (don't know, never used one) but certainly can be with a suitable Faultmate.

If all else fails, your local dealer/stealer can do it for you.

There's a safety issue if the windows went up automatically by "one touch". This can be set anyway though if you really want. If they haven't been setup/reset properly for the anti-jam then serious injury could occur if something got caught (like a small child or adult appendage).

Yep Barney, I know some cars do both up and down "one touch" by default. As one who has been "bitten" (the bruising took over two weeks to fade) by a poorly set window mechanism I'm a little wary of them now.

The lack of one-touch for the rear is also a safety feature. Its an attempt to reduce the possibility of a small child exiting the car accidentally. One could imagine the potential result if the switches in the rear are not isolated and a small child were to trigger the window down all the way with just a single, brief press while the car is moving at speed. Similar reasons to have those "child safety" tags to isolate the locks on the rear doors too.

Happy to be corrected by those with greater and more intimate knowledge.

Cheers,
Iain

Yeah thanks and I fully agree. I dont want the back windows done, especially as my two little kiddies sit in there. All I want it for is those 4wdriving situations where you're flat out steering and see that massive wash of water spraying all over your car and you want it keep all "over" not all "inside"!!!!! Thanks, ill have a look into it. Have to take it to TRS sometime to get some parts might see if he can change it for me.

I think from a saftey point of view, that's a dangerous move. If anyone has an arm, or a child has their head out the window

fwiw

With my D2a one press will drive it down manually; two presses will put it down automatically without keeping a finger on the button. Both driver side and passenger side front windows.

Most Jap cars have auto up and down on the driver's side (my 1998 Mazda and 2004 Honda and other's Jap cars are like that ). For toll booths and other drive through arrangements.

I'd prefer an auto up feature as well, but safety is always a concern with this. I guess that if someone is pressing the button up, then if there is a problem, they can stop / reverse it.
