window switches

[maximus]

HI
Anyone know where i can purchase "auto" switches to replace the hold up and down ones for the electric windows?
Thanks
Maximus.

cant rememeber which way as its been awhile since ive had them in the car, but at least one way if when you operate the switch/window, move it a little bit more and you'll get a second click (in the super s anyway, would expect it to be the same in the others)...that puts the window in automatic...(actually ive got a feeling that it may only work for putting the window back up )

thats the way mine work solarice, but only the drivers side is automatic, and its auto up and down.

 

[solarice]

good good, i wonder if its the switch or somthing stashed somwhere else...as might be able to modify the passenger one to make it do the same (if you have the urge ).

oh and maximus i didnt even know they did that, until i found out by accident

Mines a 1.3 SE and the switches definitely don't have an auto mode !! drivers or passenger side... have to hold your finger on it.

My SR doesn't have auto up/down either, I made a discovery that only the first generation K11s had the auto up/down (Super S)

 

[solarice]

ooo i didnt know that...

You can pick the rlay up in many scrappys though, you should be able to bodge a ford one to work.

Ok thanks for all the replies.... so i am looking for a first generation k11 super s.?
any idea what Reg that would be?

it's not just the switches that are auto, they have a seperate control unit of it i think, also the swithces are different from a pre-facelift to a facelift so wont straight swap anyway.

the p11 has auto up and down and similar switches, maybe someting could be done there?
i broke my passenger side window switch (same as yours) and fitted a p11 switch bottom half to my k11 top half as they just mounted differently, but the gubbings was the same.
on the p11 driver's auto up and down, you push/pull the switch onto a second click, but i still think there's a control unit?

If it anything like the ford ones i have played with, then there will be an additional relay in the circuit somewhere.

the 'crooked spire' it an actual materpiece, modern art before it's time. at least it gets the town noticed. the 'built properly spire' just doesn't have the right ring to it! lol
if you manage to sort something out with this auto window buisiness, then please post up
