Auto-Down window

Does anyone know if the auto-down feature on the driverside window on the SR5 is part of the motor or part of the switch. I want to make both the driver and passanger windows work with this feature.

 

Its part of the switch man.

 

Hey, that would make a good DIY thread. if you do it take some pics

 

If your really cleaver, find out how to make them auto down, and auto up. My previous car was a vw and both driver and passenger where auto down and up. I'm interested in the auto down though, keep us posted.

 

Yeah, the auto up is also a good ideal, if you figure this mod out and it's not too hard i'll definately do it to my truck

 

My 2002 4Runner was Drivers Auto Down/Auto Up, I wonder if I could use the same switch?

 

I was thinking of buying a drivers side switch and replacing the passanger side one. Ill check out the price as soon as I get a chance.

 

I tried to look up the switch that was in my 4Runner and I think it was upwards of $300 or more. Ouch! If you find something please let us know.

 

I think I will try to find time to take apart my door this weekend. If I am going to buy an expensive switch, I really want to make sure it is the swith and not some relay or something.

 

I just called the local Toyota dealership. The driver and passanger window switches come together as a single unit. The price is $250.00 CAD.

 

Yeah, I was going to say what reid mentioned....most of the time, switches like that are sold only as a complete assembly. On a two door truck, you'd have to order the two-switch assembly, a double cab truck would have a 4 switch assembly, etc.....

 

OK I went outside yesterday and started taking the door apart. I removed the switch unit. I the windows and door locks are all controlled by the same unit. I took it apart and tried to figure it out. Unfortunately the auto down window is controlled by a circuit board. I tried to figure it out but it is too difficult. If anyone can get me a wiring diagram I could probably do it. Does anyone have the manual with diagrams? It would probably only require soldering a couple of extra wires.

 

There could be a definite saftey problem with automatic up windows. If you kid or your dog or your wife or anyone else happens to have his/her/its head out the window when it goes up it could cause strangulation. I think that this is why they don't come from the factory that way.

 

I imagine that there are safety devices installed in vehicles with the auto-up function. My wifes CRV has it on the driver's window.

 

that happened to me when i was little. bad idea.

 

PM sent.

 

Did they discontinue the auto-up feature? My mom's 04' highlander has it on the driver side but I haven't seen it on one since.

 

I was given an 08 Rav4 to drive while my '06 was being TSBd to hell and back. It had Auto Up/Down on the driver side only

 

The 04 Highlander my wife had didn't have the auto-up feature.
