    I recently learned (12 year old grandson enlightened me) that the drivers door Auto window switch has two clicks in it that determine auto or manual roll up/down. I always thought it was a random action. Probably one of the dumbest questions ever asked but has anyone determined if you could get one of them auto switches and swap it into the other 3 slots? I'm guessing not but with my new found knowledge I came up with this fantastic new idea.

    I can only find the master switch and the passenger switch. I cannot find the Auto switch all by itself.

    Not a dumb question, but no, you can't have "auto" function on the other 3 windows.

    The driver's window uses special hardware that's built into the window mechanism, the other windows don't have that. Also there is fancy electronics built into the driver's switch (all 4 switches at the driver's door are built into one "master switch assembly").


    There is no feasible way to do this.

    That's kinda what I figured. Was just hoping someone made it happen. You know "where there's a will, there's a way." I just don't have the will.
