Strange Wiring Mod To Window Switches

[bentwagon]

Pulled the drivers door skin off to check the speaker condition and found this wiring mod to the window switches, does anyone know what it is, does or what for?

Cheers

Do all your windows go up after cars off or just drivers?

[bentwagon]

Only go up an down with keys at the on position, no auto up if that's what you mean.

Dont know what it is for, maybe for heated rear view mirrors? The R30 models have the great feature that if your windows were down after you turned the engine off, if you opened the drivers door the centre console window switches could be used to close the windows. It could not have costed much to incorporate in any model. I wonder why Nissan dropped it.

what about the other buttons? do any of them work without keys?

one thing i've been meaning to look into is the lock/unlock switch. does yours work with the keys out? mine does, even with the car alarmed mine does. what i'm worried about is that means anyone can slide a bit of wire or something past the window seal and press that button and my doors unlock (well except the drivers side) easy way to break-in.

one way around this is to feed the power to that switch from the window switches feed, as they only work with the ignition turned on.

My drivers goesup for bout 5 secs after ignition. Urs dont?

[bentwagon]

All doors unlock except drivers with lock switch on ARM rest. Soon as I put key to acc no windows work.

Dont know how similar the Stags are, but i know the r33's passenger door can be unlocked using the button on the drivers door contorls without the ignition etc.

I disabled the unlocking ability of the button by cutting a certain wire, this is exactly what i thought when i first saw it.

So if you can lock the passenger door with that button, but cant unlock it, this would be the likely reason

same here. only work in the "on" position.

i want to try and tie mine into the alarm. so when its armed that switch wont work. should be easy enough just got to get motivated to do it.

Yea im sure it could be done by any capable person with a bit of auto elec knowledge.

But i dont even use mine, never have used mine, so the fact i can still lock the passenger side and not unlock it is fine with me

maybe your alarm puts all the windows up when you arm it?

[lilcrash]

My drivers door switchs can lock and unlock all the doors regardless of key situation, and I can use my windows for about 10 secs after ignition off. I just wish the stagea was like my wifes beetle. You can use the key in the door lock to open and close the windows.

Does it look ike ud be able to revert back to factory easy?

[bentwagon]

i keep thinking i should have done that but was low on time...

[bentwagon]

might be able to nut it out from this

So the other day I decided to rejoin the wires to see what happens. Now the drivers door window stays active until the keys are removed and the drivers door is opened then closed. After it is closed to window becoms inactive. I like it better this way as I usually notice the window is slightly open as I am exiting the vehicle.

+1. I'm always putting them up after I get out.

thats how mine it, but it only works on the drivers door

maybe they tried to mod it so that it worked on all the windows?

[sammy46]

So iis this something you can share so we can mod the wires for the extra window up time?
