I installed some replacement power window regulators and motors in my 88. I bought some 6 prong reverse polarity switches and wired them from scratch. I ran the power straight to the battery for now, thinking that I would like not having the hassle of rolling up/down the wondows with the key in. Everything works excellent, BUT I just got a DEI 530t and I was wondering if it will work with how my motors and switches are wired up. If you hold the switch after the window is all the way (up or down), you can still feel the motors trying to move quite a bit.
With those modules, how do they know when to stop applying power to your motor? I would think that somewhere in the wiring would be some type of 'cut off' of the power after the window has gone all the way. I am imagining that how mine is set up, when I press the 'one touch' function or roll up/dwn from the remote, the module will not know when to stop letting power go to the motor. I have never messed with a truck like mine equipped with power windows to know what's up. Thanks for any help.

The circuitry is designed to stop power if there is a high current draw (like the motor stopping against something)

Do you have some a diagram of how things are connected? - I totally rewired my windows and used a similar power window module (carbine).
PM me your diagram and I'll see if I can help

AH! I cant believe I didnt think about that. Thanks man!

As for the wiring, I pretty much went by a wiring diagram I got from AutoLoc for their aftermarket window kit. Only my switches ar different and it took me about an hour trying to wire those up (they arent window switches). I eliminated the third switch because the two will be mounted in the overhEAD CONSOLE.

No prob -
I did about the same, I took all the wiring out and replaced it and wires new switches that light and eliminated the third switch (completely out of the doors - center console)
you're going to like the power window module.
I have it in the truck and my car - it's kind of cool.
If start rolling the windows up and shut off the ignition it will finsih rolling them up.
But, I saw that you have yours hot all the time, so it will do that anyway

yea man i cant wait to install it. after reading the feature of it, i was a little disappointed that i didnt wire my windows to the ignition because like you said the module finishes rolling them up when the ign is off. but yea i cant wait to put it in,. thanks man
