Rover 400 - One-touch down windows (mod) - MG-Rover.org Forums

Hi peeps

This is something that's been bothering me and a friend for a while now. We've tried to get the passenger-side window to have a one-touch down functionality over the last week, but we continually blow the 20a fuse for the passenger side window.

We're using a 5 pin relay from a Mondeo, which has been used with good results to achieve one-touch operation in my friends FTO. However, the wiring method he used there that works, won't work in the 416.

Has anyone ever done this mod? Or seen anyone/where that has? A quick search here, and a general google search didn't turn up much, but I'm planning to be more thorough in another search.

We're looking at one-touch up as well in the future, but only once we've got something in place that will protect fingers as one-touch up would otherwise remove said fingers.

I didn't ... That looks promising! Just got to find one of those ECU's. They're around on eBay, but I know of a breakers yard that has a fair bunch of rovers.

Thanks for that, I missed that post entirely!

Alternativly you could use parts from a mk1 45/ZS.
The drivers door switch has 2 downs, down by touch or auto by touching harder. The ECU is in the door.
