Soooo how many people are interested in this? Its doable but will be a custom job. When I get my posts up I will down load the manuals and have a look at the wiring diagrams.

Hey SCADA,
You might be able to help me with another project.
Some of the guys have asked about making their electric windows being able to work all the time, not just when the ignition is on.
There is a 12 volt relay in the circuit that switches on with ignition, this supplies battery power to the windows, now you can just bypass this relay and supply direct battery power to the windows, but the problem is on the GUs there is a little LED light in the drivers side switch that stays illuminated when doing this.
So I was thinking a timing circuit would be the way to go, it could keep the relay switched on for an hour or so after the ignition switch was turned off.
Should be pretty easy to do. Have heard this is an irritation on the Patrols. Does it effect GQ & all GU variants? Where is the relay? Interior or engine bay?

Both the GQs and GUs are the same, but from memory I don't think the GQs have the light in the switch, unless my old GQs one was just stuffed.

What do you think?
Ummmm I know this is from the other forum but i thought it might possibly be useful............ well if your a member there that is (which I'm not)
Thanks for the info...$130 sounds a bit rich to me. How does everyone else feel about this?
It sounds very expensive to me, for a timer circuit.
That's why I thought I would ask if you could design a simple timer circuit that could keep the relay switched on for a period of time after the ignition was switched off.

That would work OK but the best would be to have the option of both eh? Have a 5min (adjustable) delay after ignition off, and an over-ride switch to have it on all the time.
