I just bought an auto window winder of E-bay for $20, and I want to install it. Anyone have any idea on where to get the wires from for the connections? I figured out which wires I do need for the install, but, I don't want to mount everything in the door, TOO BULKY!!! I won't have any problems installing the unit, cos all the wires are colour coded. It's just basically getting to the wires under the dash, or somewhere else.

Can anyone help me as to the location for the window wires?

Thanks for your help out there!!!

PLEASE GUYS. I'M SURE THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO CAN HELP ME.

Hi again... I have figured out how to get to the wires and how to get them through the door and the a-pillar. I was just wondering if there is anyone out there who can give me advice on which wires off the door switch do I connect the module to? I have attempted to use a test light and multimeter to get voltage from which wire does which, but the tests have been inconclusive and giving me mixed signals.

So, if there is anyone who could give me the advice, or tell me how to do it, that would be very much appreciated.

Cheers heaps.

with fiddling - yes. depends on the roof and how it actually works. if I can automate a convertible silvia to fully close the roof and lock it self - a sunroof will be a walk in teh park. are you electronics minded?

drivers door for the up wires.

poke and prod for the correct wires. nissan change them to much.

Thanks for that. I decided to just bite the bullet, use a test light and a sewing pin and that gave me the best results.

If anyone else would like assistance with this, PM me and I will try to help you out as best I can.

Tell you the truth a convertable would be easier to automate than a sunroof as a sunroof has tilt and slide. There will need to be a signal given whether to close it by sliding, or just from the tilt. I was going to get this auto wind kit from ebay but i called a few places and they have quoted me an arm and a leg to get it put in place and even more to get the sunroof to work.

Only thing i got wired to close when i arm my car is the side mirrors which fold automatically.

nah most of them are transisitor based anyway. for me its a case of two delayed signals to close it fully. same idea to open it.

nissan drop tops are a pain to automate. too many lockouts to defeat to make the thing do as you want.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
