Editing Installing Power Windows (section)

==Wiring==

Couple of wiring diagrams - click for larger image:

This diagram preserves the auto down function.  The leftmost relay coils will latch in and keep the motor connected.  But '''VERY IMPORTANT''' you ''must'' feed the power to your windows through a fuse and a polyswitch.  The fuse is just to protect the wiring in case of a short.  The polyswitch is to disconnect power to the circuit when the window reaches the bottom.  The motor stalls when the window stops at the bottom, and the motor current increases dramatically.  This current trips the polyswitch, the relay drops out, everything returns to rest.  If you don't use the polyswitch, the motor will not turn off when the window reaches bottom, unless you flick the up switch.

To work out what polyswitch you'll need, measure the run current and the stall current of the motor, then select something in-between.  Jaycar has a prime on using polyswitches.

This diagram is only manual up and down.  A fuse is still essential.  A polyswitch is a good idea, stop the motor supply after stalling.
