Default Someone help me out?? Auto Passanger Window

Well i was wondering if it is possible to have the passanger side window have an auto-feature also. I know i'd have to buy the driver-side switch, but wut else would i need, woudl i need relays or somethin, does anybody have direction of what to buy specifically? what parst i woudl need to get, and how to wire it. I know i'd need to get two switches, since the driver door has 2 switches, one for th driver, which is arleady auto, and one for the passanger, which is not auto, but still controls it, and i need the other switch for the passanger to use. Anybody wanna help me out please? I'm plannin on doin this to my s2k and my prelude.

In a word.. nope.. Just have the automated up/down modules installed in your car. It makes both your passenger and driver side windows go up and down with one touch.
Basically an auto up AND down.

It runs around $170 total for both windows.

It's not that simple, you can't just add an auto-down feature with relays. If it were that simple, everyone would have done it already. The auto-down feature is integrated into the drivers-side switch, it cannot be tapped for the passenger window without damaging it. There was a whole thread about this in which someone else tried to do it and found out the hard way that it could not be done without destroying all the components. And this was with an electrical engineer.

Even installing the modules is difficult if you do not have experience in the electronics field.

Just go to a qualified stereo/alarm shop and have them install the window modules for you.

The driver's window motor has special circuitry so the system knows when the window is full up or down. Passenger motor does not have this. The after-market units just activate the window switches with relays that are timed to turn off after a few seconds so it doesn't kill your window motors.
