Ok I need some help guys…maybe some of you have hooked this up before and know what to do.
I have tried all the wires and cant seem to get it right. I have no idea which left/right motor wires and left/right switch wires i have to splice into. Perhaps you guys would know the color and help me out.
This module is to roll up the windows when I arm my alarm. Hooked up the alarm with no problem. This window unit is giving me a headache.
TIA
Ken
You have to cut the stock wire that goes from the switch to the motor in the door… the end going to the motor in the door is plugged with left/right motor on the PW unit and the end going to the switch goes to the wire labelled left/right switch.
As for knowing which wire to cut and plug into, just checked the one going to the motor!
I never installed Power windows roll-up modules, but that’s what I understand from the wiring diagram!
HTH!
thanks for the help…I was confused by the diagram because the wire they show are NOT cut…thsi always made me thought it was 2 different wires that I had to splice into 
Thanks again
Ken
answer or riceman, whoever might be able to help me:
this question got my mind turning. I’ve got a viper alarm on my car right now, and power windows. The alarm has an aux button on it… meaning i could hook it to something extra.
i’m just wondering what parts i’d need to buy to set this up, and maybe if there are some wiring diagrams i can look at somewhere?
I know it sounds like i’m ignorant, and i kind of am when it comes to alarms. But i understand a decent amount about wiring and circuits and what not (just basics though). So, if you guys could point me in the right direction, or maybe to some websites? anything?
thanks

Sorry man I am not quite sure on how the extra button on the remote are prgrammed. But damn, now u got me thinking also LOL. It would be cool to click on your alarm and the windows opens. I am gonna look into that and if I find anything, I will let you know.

yeah, thats what the auxilary button is for. Just to hook up to anything extra, like window rollup, hood pop… whatever. I didn’t want to add anything to it at the time cause the shop was gonna charge $60+ the cost of the module/relay that they would need to use. And at the time it wasn’t worth the $$.
91IntegGS: If you get a window roll-up module, you don’t need to use the Aux. button… The module uses the ‘ground when armed’ output of the alarm to know when to roll-up the windows… But you could make the Aux. button roll your windows down!

andre, i’d like to use the aux button if possible (could it make the windows go up and down?). Sometimes i like to set my alarm but have the window’s and sunroof cracked a little. Mainly i’d just like to be able to shut all the windows or open them all just with the hit of a button, and not have it tied to arming or disarming the alarm. Like i said i’m not familiar with alarm systems, so hopefully what i’m thinking of here wouldn’t just be a wiring nightmare.
thanks for any help you can give me andre!
well, you could use the Aux. button if you want… but this could only make the windows go up OR down… Unless such a device exist than I am not aware of…
Do you have only 1 Aux button or more? I could be possible to make it raise you windows if the alarm is armed and lower them if the alarm is un-armed(depending on the status of the alarm), but that would be quite complicated…(wiring nightmare! :uhoh: )
EDIT: well, after thinking about it, It may be quite easy… I’ll think about it while I sleep and talk back to ya tomorrow!
the up OR down thing is what i was worried about. i assume the windows work on a polarity basis? as in one way makes them go up, then reverse polarity and then go down?
EDIT: well, after thinking about it, It may be quite easy… I’ll think about it while I sleep and talk back to ya tomorrow!
dude, you’re awesome! thanks for your help!
Use a DEI 530t window module. this gives up when armed and vent/roll down by aux button. It also makes the windows one touch. The most important thing is that this module has different resistence settings to make sure difficult or older windows will roll up fully. Cheap or generic modules will stop part way up on older worn motors with lots of resistence.

only problem with that is like i said, i like to be able to park my car with the windows cracked. When i’m at home the sun beats down on my car and its best to crack the windows and sunroof to keep it a little cooler… but i still like to have the alarm armed.
but thanks.
you could use what Luciferi takled about… You would simply have to arm your system(Windows go up) and then, hit the Aux. button to crack them open…
It would be a lot easier this way… I’m still thinking about what we talked, but It would be quite a bit of wiring…
andre, i was just reading the owners manual for my alarm. Ok, i have 4 buttons on my alarm: Arm, Disarm, Aux, and Panic. If i press the “Aux” button for 1.5sec i can activate some auxilary function (like the window thing we’re talking about). But the alarm is also set up for a 2nd aux function! If i simultaneously press the Arm and Disarm buttons i can control another function.
so, would it be possible to wire the windows to go down when i hit the “Aux” button, and have them roll up when i hit the Arm and Disarm at the same time? i guess i would be twice the wiring, but maybe it could get around having to have the same button do the same thing. any input?
yep, that would be quite easy to do… as long as your 2 windows go up at the same speed… cause if you don’t use a Window roll-up module, you’re gonna have to keep pushing on the button to keep them rolling… having 2 Aux. channels is nice… I only have one! :mad:
This would require some relay and stuff wiring, but it’s not that bad…
Just tell me if ya need some help with the wiring!

The 530t only needs one aux to do vent and roll down. up off of ground while armed. you can vent the windows while armed. If you dont use a window module and just use relays, you will damage the motors when trying to roll up or down completely.
Window modules were deigned to save time, money, and window motors so why not use one. 530t is about $75
Hey Andre
I hooked up the module by cutting the wire and connecting them back the way it shows in the diagram, but nothing happens when I trigger the alarm. I cut the red/blue wire which is the roll up wire connected to the motor…then I even tried the roll down wire but same thing.
I have noticed the alarm sends out a negative signal at the second channel…don’t I need a positive signal to roll up the windows?
TIA
Ken

I don’t know… depends on your PW module… But it should be a ground signal… Do you have some kind of owner’s manual for the PW module?
driver window up= red/blue
driver window down =red/yellow
passenger window up= blue/yellow
passenger window down= blue/green
