All,

I saw somewhere (a while ago) a trick mentioned that would allow you to put up (or down) your power windows without having the ignition in ACC or ON.

It had something to do with jumping the relay that controls the power window system.

Does anyone have any idea how (and where) to do this on a 1997 4Runner?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris

 

Anybody out there with a 3rd gen heard of this even? Maybe I'm daydreaming too much at work again....

 

Try Roger Brown's pages.
You can find his URL on my homepage in the rigs section, or here in the membership list.

His handle is 4Crawler.
He has many tech articles on his site, and may have that covered.

 

Cool thanks. That might be where I saw it once upon a time! Anybody else thought of this?

Chris

 

Another club member and I sorted out the wiring to do this very thing on the Tacoma's a few months ago. We found that when you bypass the relay, the lights in the buttons stay on all the time
