Electric Windows working for set time after key removed

[HappyCamper*]

Hi All
Just looking for some help to see if I can get the electric windows in patrol working for say 2 minutes after the key has been removed from the ignition , Like every other car I have owned does .
thanks in advance

Have you tried? My Patrol does this

[Bigcol]

they usually only work until drivers door is opened


atleast the ones I have had - didnt know there was a time limit.............

It annoyed me so much that I fitted a switch on the dash to power them rather than have to put the key back in..

Was going to fix mine to do exactly that as its a pita having to put keys back in.
I already have a timer that allows me to use the stereo, so I can use it and rev cameras with ign off.
I was thinking about hooking up a suitable relay to timers output and running to window control box.
The timer is variable & can be activated by a simple push button on/off also.
see Jaycar for kit. You could do a search ebay for a suitable unit.
cheers

I've been thinking about this for a while. My old VY commodore had the option of accessories off with either key off or door opened so I got used to everything still powered until I opened the door.
Jaycar do a timer kit that will hold the ignition on for a set time but I really like the idea of the opened door.
Im going to see if i can program an Arduino board to simply stay powered once on until it senses the interior light.

Ive got it.
2 SPDT relays is all you need to keep the accessories on until you open a door.

So easy to build so I gave it a go and it tests fine so should work well. Latches closed when the ignition is turnedon and doesn't open until its earthed out (opening door)
