Relocating or Adding Power window switch to center console
Im used to having the window switches on the center console, and I think it is just better to have them their, so is there a way to do it?
Thanks,

it would be easier to install one in one of the blank panels to the left of the steering wheel, would also look better IMHO...
not sure where you'd put that large of a button in the center and still have it look good. you know?

I think those holes are for heated seat buttons... if equiped... which it is not. Just another generic cookie cutter console.
I was planning the same mod. I'm kind of afraid to do it just because rerouting the wiring from the door seems like a biatch. Think I might just try and grab a duplicate harness from a salvage yard and splice in... seems less messy to me.
I was going to use chrome airplane type switches with chrome U guards on either side... kind of like the switch setup in the new Mini Cooper if you've seen that one. Many switch types available at old school electronics shops. I'm thinking, with the right switch, you could set all windows up with the possibility of auto down/up... course I could fry my window motor too... hehe. What happened to Radio Shack anyway? Can't get anything there these days.
Gotta get a shop manual with a schematic first... and I'd like it to warm up before I'm hanging out in driveway all day. Snow coming to the Northeast tomorrow!
