Power window switch A switch/button that can be toyed or pressed to activate the power window function. They are electronic devices that can be connected directly to the car's wires or via a control module.
There are several variations on how circuits work. When a system is activated, it transfers power to the window motor, which then turns in one direction or the other depending on whether the window is open or closed.
When the switch on the door module is activated, the other system turns off a relay. This will send a message to the control module to activate the window motor. This type of system is more likely on vehicles where there are multiple operations on one module/switch. Window master switches can also have other features such as mirrors and door lock controls included.
