POWER WINDOW WIRING
Power window regulators are not included with the remote system base kit. They are
available separately from Dakota Digital. This remote system is designed to wire into existing
power windows or installed at the same time as power windows are added to the vehicle. Use
the diagram which matches the way your power windows are connected. The relays are
designed to duplicate the function of the power window switch you are using and provide up
and down window motion. The CMDX should be set up for toggling momentary outputs, and A
and B from one channel will be used for drivers side and another channel for the passengers.
Because the switch pin-out varies with different switch types and between different
manufacturers, refer to your power window wiring instructions for window regulator and switch
color code and pin location. The diagram below shows how to hook up the remote system to
an existing power window harness. It is recommended that the power windows be first wired
up to its own switches and wiring harness without the remote system. Once the power
windows are working correctly with the supplied switches, then connect the remote system
relay packs to the harness. This will simplify correcting any wiring problems that may show up.

This wiring diagram can be used with most power window and switch combinations.
The existing switch (or in some cases relays) keep the two wires to the motor grounded when
the window is at rest. To move the window up, the “up” wire is switched to 12 volts while the
“down” wire remains grounded. To move the window down, the opposite occurs. For both the
existing switch and the remote system to be able to move the window, the wires between the
switch and the window regulator need to be cut and separated. These wires are then
connected to the supplied dual relay pack. One relay in the pack will roll the window up, the
other down.
While the remote system itself should not be mounted in the door, the relays can be.
Mount them so the wires are going out the bottom. This will prevent water from collecting
inside.
The wiring for the passenger side is identical to the driver’s side.
