Power windows problem
My car is rs eclipse. so dont come wit pw or pl. I decided to get power windows so i bought power window regulators off another eclipse. i installed them properly. I tested it by using the two wires from regulator. i touch one wire to positive battery terminal and other to negative terminal to go up and switch wires around if want thm to go down. Now the problem is how to wire them up. I was going to place them in the armrest between seat and put tweeter when the handle for the rollup was. Please help open to any suggestions.

Rocker switches with a center 'off' aren't hard to find. They are normally mounted in a rectangular hole (similar to that on a cheap drip coffee machine) but have either single pole contacts (switches one wire to one or the other to a common contact- SPDT) or double pole that has two separate sets of contacts isolated from each other - DPDT. If you want to see the electrical symbol for these;

Go down to the description Intermediate switch 4-way switch This will show you how to connect for your windows.
When you look for these parts, you must make sure that the alternating positions are spring loaded and that the center (rest) position is OFF.

I suggest RS first since it would be person-person so you can describe what you need.
