Default -------->"Auto" window down for passenger side window??? Switch Mod???-*HELP*

Hi all, I was thinking of modifying a factory window switch to add the "auto" down function to the passenger side window of my CVT. I wondered if anyone has done it or had thoughts on how to.

Not sure if I would have to change the whole switch out, or just the pieces that hold it down when you push hard enogh to activate the auto down function.?

I'd appreciate any input or technical know how...

Anyone have a switch they want to donate to the cause???

Thanks,
Mark

I suppose you can add some kind of "time delay relay" to the passenger side window switch.

The auto circuit is in the window motor. You might try buying a new right side window motor from a JDM dealer. (or any country where Insights were delivered right hand drive)

Default auto up?

Without trying to steal the thread, can the drivers side window be made to have "auto up"?
Regards,
Jerry

Are the left and right side motors different? Can the electronics or motor be adapted to the other side?
