hey guys....ive got an idea, and before i try it, im wondering if you guys have any input on wheter or not it would work

i want to order driver side window switches...the one with the "auto" for the driver window...and replace the switches on the driver side and the passenger side for the passenger window with the switches with the "auto" down....i think that woudl be a really neat feature, so i could just hit both the switches and have both sides roll down automatically....

let me know what you think

this just gave me an idea and with a few mins of thought I could come up with the wiring diagram for and I think it would be nice. It would give you two options.
1. Window controls work as normal on the driver and passenger side
2. When you depress the window lock button it dosn't lock the windows, instead it allows both windows to be controled by the one switch for the drivers window. This would allow you to hit that one button and roll both the driver's and passenger's windows up and down including the auto down. I don't know if i realy want to try it but if someone wants to give it a try let me know and I will work out the wiring diagram. Gotta love electrical engineering.

i have a cheap and dirty solution for that...for the electronically minded: imagine the enable switch (the round button)is a spdt switch (if not then change it)...connect the normally open switch (button pressed down so passenger side window is disabled) after the auto-down circuitry (the driver side window switch)...with this it seems that you should be able to control both windows...i have a little diagram but it exceeded the limit...pm me if you wanna see it...haven't tried it or anything but it look like its gonna work
