Hi All,
I had a chance to work on my key activated rear window switch problem.
The old switch was dried and cracked. My anti-dummy switch (or whatever it's called) was taken out long ago.
I found the always-hot wire, bought a double pole double throw switch and wired it up like this:
There are 6 terminals.
Always hot to the two outer opposite terminals joined.
Opposite two are grounds.
The two middle ones go to the motor, one each. One is spliced into motor-wire 1, the other to motor-wire 2.
It works and so does my dash switch.
My new new rear switch has issues I don't understand.
It goes 1/2 the speed of when I use the dash switch.
With engine off it works but then stops, like it ran out of juice. With the engine on I can hear the strain on my alternator when I hit the switch.
Using the dash switch it goes up and down just fine, as it did before, which is amazing considering I worked on it...
Can anyone explain what is happening and what I can do to fix it? Or will it stay that way?
Thank you!
