Disadvantages to wiring power windows to constant power?

I can't think of any reasons why not....I don't know how much power window motors suck up though, you might could possibly drain your battery if you play with them too much with the car off....

 

no prob, should'nt be any draw until the button is pushed, and you'd have to play for days with you your windows to kill your batt

 

you should be fine.

 

idiocy?

 

anti-theft?

 

thats why they are not done that way

 

I'm a little confused as well. What do you mean Civic?

 

It's for redundancy, power windows as well as all accessories normally aren't connected to a constant power source for that reason. It reduces the likelyhood of a short and fire, and potential battery drain. Connecting them to a constant source won't give you problems if its done right, however redundant measure like second switches, fuses, relays only serve as added protection.

 

if oyu add a wire, make sure it's fused, and depending on the load, use appropriate wire....
I used 16 guage wire and it melted :werd:

 

his dad is probably the dumbass technitian that suggested ignition-fed window motors

 

:stupid: What I was saying that it would be easier to steal a car if there was constant power going to the windows.

 

and just how would you get in to press the button, stupid?

 

If someone left the window open a crack

 

then coudln't you unlock it by hand anyway? my god, you are an idiot.
Unless the dude has a coathanger to poke the button- then whihc he could always slimjim the door anyway.
retard.

:smash:

 

Im not saying what he could do instead idiot........Im saying thats why it does not have constant power. He could alsopop open the trunk, cut a hole in the back seats and crawl in but who cares!

 

you DO realize these buttons are INSIDE, right?
