Electric Windows Relays Installation

Gents,

Here is my installation of electric windows relays.
A vast improvement in speed and force, highly recommended.
Diagrams can be found in Kirby’s book and also in www.SKJagtech.co.uk

Materials:
8 miniature 16 x 12.5 x 14mm DPDT relays rated @ 20A,
2 thermal breakers, two boards 45 x 45mm,
2 boxes 50 x 50 x 27mm,
5m of 10mm² cable,
an inline 20A fuse,
and a bunch double pole male and female connectors.

Total cost was about 25 Euros plus shipping from TME (no affiliation).

Boards and relays, they are realy small…
Relays are powered from the left side power post in the firewall through the 20A fuse.


Wired.


Complete with boxes and connectors.


Installed under the center console.


Access to the rear windows cables.

Overall very happy with this modification, it transformed the windows operation.
