power window mod-problem
I did the electric window mod by pulling the fuse from the windows and made a jumper wire which runs from the electric seats and plugs into where the power window fuse was. I went on vacation and my truck sat for about eleven days and when i went to start it this morning the battery was completely dead.
So i'm thinking that with this set up there is some current draw somewhere. Any body else have this happen to them.
I have let the truck sit this long before I did the jumper and battery was fine.

There was a discussion a while ago that the light in the window switches will stay
on all the time with this mode I can't imagine that would drain a battery in eleven
days, but seems like a likely canidate.

What I did was put an inline 20amp fuse from the one side of the radio fuse to the
window. Works good.

Yes, that is what happened to me. I changed it back to stock form until I figure something else out. I might try the map lights being they are only on when the door is open and that should shut down everything when the door is closed.

How will that power your windows? (i mean when is it passing +12vdc?) Only when the key is on?
