Re: Power Window Relay Mod?
This is a great mod. It was a simple mod and well worth doing. I did mine when I had the truck apart. I put my relays just above where the wires go out threw the fire wall to the doors. I felt they would be better protected from the weather. I also cut my wires to the motor about 2" from the motor and added a much larger wire all the way down to the motor .I pulled the original wire back up threw the door jamb to the inside of the fire wall to run the relays. 2 wires up to the relays from the motor, and 2 large wires down from the relays to the motor. It works great. The first thing my friends show off about my truck is the windows in action.

Re: Power Window Relay Mod?
Nice, I was thinking of replacing my motors because of how slow they are, but I guess I'll just do this mod and see how it works.

Re: Power Window Relay Mod?
Hey there I am working on this also and for me it works perfect
Can you give me some more insight on how you have it wired and I can hopefully help. My drivers side is done and I will finish up my pass side tomorrow. Thanks Mike Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Power Window Relay Mod?
Broke out the test light and found my problem. It ended up being a $1.32 splitter that was interrupting my power source. I just took for granted that it wasn't impeding the flow from the junction block. Windows are definitely quicker now.

Re: Power Window Relay Mod?
Hi there.
I am also in the process of doing this mod to my windows and it's definately awesome... Drivers side works perfect, but I have a small issue with the passenger side that I beleive is not even relay related... Before I did this mod my passenger window would only go down a few inches and then stop..... then I had to wait a minute or so before i could get it to continue down another few inches... With the relay mod I thought it would fix that issue.... but it did not and now it goes down the same 5 or 6 inches but of course faster before it stops.... At this point I am thinking it's a switch or motor issue.... what else could it be and how can i test to see which one it really is before I go and buy both and replace... Any help is certainly appreciated... Thanks Mike |

Re: Power Window Relay Mod?
bypass the switch and just touch the wire to power. if it still does it, possibly motor or other related
