would it be possible to make all my windows do the all down one touch thing? im thinking it is just the switch so if i were to change over the 3 others to the one touch down it should all work or am i just dreaming anyone with a wiring diagram or experience please help thanx
 
There was another thread that talked about power windows recently (sorry, I'm too lazy to find it). In that thread someone said that the manual says that it's possible to blow a fuse by using more than two windows at a time. If you do make all 4 switches "one touch" then be careful not to use too many at a time.

[Edit]
Oops, got the number wrong. It's 3 or more that may blow a fuse.
Hi,
Use caution because the manual says you shouldn't operate more then 3 windows at the same time - the fuse might blow.

Best

Not positive, but I think he is talking about triggering all the windows off the one switch. I suppose the way to test fuse blowing would be to hold all four buttons at the same time and see what happens.
Other than the obvious potential fuse blowing, it should be fairly easy to set up a relay to do this. There must be a wire that goes hot during the auto down process that is not hot when doing the manual controlled down method.
There might even be a specific relay somewhere for the autodown that can be tapped. Only problem I'm having is figuring out an easy way to trigger one window or all the windows by choice without adding a new switch, which would make the whole thing so clunky as to not be worth the trouble.
 
I dont think he wants to open all 4 windows at once. I think what he meant was that he thinks the one touch thing is controlled by the actual switch so if he were to replace the other 3 switches with the SAME TYPE of switch he could have all 4 windows have the one touch feature.

I doubt running all 4 windows at the same time will blow a fuse - what would most likely do it is starting all 4 buttons at the same time (if you sequence it I bet ya it wont blow.... not gonna try it on mine tho :D )
