Electric Windows

Post by Attie »

Hi All

I have a couple of question about the electric windows in the Hilux.

1. The driver side window has the ability to wind down automatically with a single push of the button.
How do I change it so that it does the same when winding up and how do I change the rest of them to be able to do the same?

2. The electric windows do not work when the ignition is turned off.
How can I modify it to work even when the ignition is turned off? It happens to often where I need to put the key back in the ignition and turn it on because someones windows is still down.

Thanks in advance.

For question one, I think it's a safety feature. Winding down with one press does not pose a risk to fingers, but winding up could crush small kiddies fingers and do some damage to adult fingers.

Question 2 , my wife's 2008 yaris does have this option for about 30 sec after car switched off.
So perhaphs there is a why to program it to behave like this. I would also be interested in that feature. comes in handy when in a rush
