power windows: auto button for all windows

2001XJ · Aug 27, 2008

I was wondering if it was possible or if anyone has wired the other three windows in their jeep to be able to go all the way down with one push of the button like the front driver side has the ability to do.

TIA

i have seen people do it in rangers with just a new relay like the driverside has...dunno if that would work on an xj or not

Thats a pretty good idea, tho i know with the poor conductors already in place,
It would be slooooowww unless you used the power from the switch to activate the relay and pull the power from an alternate source. Totally doable.
I might steal that idea from you.....

For sure! Why don't they come like that from the factory? My WK does it on the front two, but not the back two.

I drove a h2 sut the other day at work and it had a button for all five (lf, rf, lr, rr,and rear) to go up and down at the same time. I thought that was some pretty trick shit the first coupla times I hit that button.

I would guess it was a child safety issue. Keep kids from getting their head stuck in the window when dad hit the old "auto" button without looking first.

That would be a great mod! How about the electric gurus figure it out for my 1988 XJ?

bump, 5-90, yo have any thoughts on this?

Wouldn't mind it on the front as well as going back up too!

I put power windows in my MJ using aftermarket regulators (Electric Life), two OEM switches on the drivers door, and a single switch on the passenger door. I wired it so one drivers side switch lowers both windows; the other switch operates only the right window. The single switch on the passenger side operates only the right window.

I was planning on doing this to my dodge, but it'll work with anything that has a motor.

Its only auto down, not up.

True but on the H2 That I mention it was both. Lets not forget that there is a circuit breaker on the power window circuits so that when the window gets to the top the breaker opens so the motor and wiring don't get fried from pulling to many amps. So I'd imagine there is a built in safety feature so that if someone did manage to get something caught in there (obviously other than their neck) it would pop the breaker open before any damage could be done (such as breaking a bone).
