Do you guys like hand crank windows or electric better?

I've been looking for you. lol

Not really but been looking for someone who did that mod. Do the windows roll up and down faster now? I put a new AC delco power window motor in the passenger side, and it does roll up and down faster now. As opposed to barely working at all. But its still not quite as fast as I like it to be. Did the relay mod give you any speed increase, with the power windows?

Same here man! In TX its like a sauna inside a vehicle in the summer, without AC.

Back to the switches though. I recently bought a new driver's side power lock switch. I've been having problems with it, and after messing around with it for a bit, I found out that its actually just the connector. You're familiar with that connector, I'm sure. Its got 3 holes in it, that you're just supposed to shove in there, and hope it stays. There is no clasp, to hold the connector tightly to the switch. So of course, after all this time, it doesn't really want to stay connected very well. One end of the connector is always sticking too far out away from the pin on the switch.

I can hold it there by hand, and the switch works just fine. But as soon as I let go and put the switch back into the door panel, my "unlock" function no longer works. Guess that must be the side of the connector that is coming off of the switch. What method would you use, to secure this connector? You can't really zip tie it... and I'd rather not epoxy it if that could be avoided. Need some kind of clamping force to hold the electrical connector to the back of the switch.


Next question!

The power window switch, on the passenger side, only wants to work if the window is already rolled up at least 25%. So if the passenger rolls their window all the way down, they can't roll it back up. Unless, I roll it up using the driver's side switch, to at least a quarter of the way up, for them. Then they can go head and roll up their window. This seems weird to me...they can roll it all the way down if they like. But then of course its too low, and they can't roll it back up.
