Friends burning up passenger side window motors.

[6.9poweredscout]

I've been going through passenger side motors. I notice my friends that ride shotgun always bump up or down the windows with their knee. I noticed the other day after I dropped off my friend the window wouldn't go up. Then I realized it, he probably had his knee on it for over an hour and stripped it. Any ideas how I can put "friend locks" on it?

Well you could put a toggle in to cut power to it.
Or transplant on of the newer style switches with the window lock built in.

can you unplug the switch on the passengers side? If they want the window down you can do it from your side.

If you unplug it, it'll lose power iirc. I was thinking trying to make a lockout switch. I've never bumped the switches, but my friends can't stay away from them...the brick nose switches are in a terrible spot.

Tell friends to ride in the back from now on. You could design a metal cover plate and velcro it over the switch too. Then if you don't like the looks it comes off easy. Or just cover it completely and screw the passengers. You can operate it from the drivers side fine. Why are the friends riding spread legged like that anyway...

Hahaha! That's what the back seat is for.... I'm not sure what they're doing, I've never hit the switch on mine or the passenger side.

It shouldn't be to hard to do that. Most newer cars have a lock out. What I'm not sure about is the direction the power comes from. I dug around in my door pictures but they are no help. Dig up a wiring diagram and we can see how hard it would be.

I know one feeds to the passenger side and the driver side plug has the wire in it. I had to run a jumper on my 97 because the pass switch didn't work. Just have to hook a switch on the driver side to cut power to the switch.

A nice rocker switch mounted next to the window buttons should do the trick then.

Maybe I can find one from a 90s Ford and make something work

Maybe this will help?

Just disconnect the LB/BK at the passenger switch and that will disable just that switch from working and the drivers side will do it all still

Prefect I'll throw a rocker switch on it. Thanks!
