Default Power windows roll down wish push of button??

I would like to know if anyone has ever wired your power windows to both roll down the way the drivers side does. The drivers side rolls down with a push of the button whereas the passenger you have to hold it down...I find that annoying. If anyone has wired them to both go down with a push of the button let me know, I am very intersted in doing this.

There is a module that you can buy that does it.
Some alarms will do it for you also with the push of a button.
That allows you to roll your windows down before you get in the car.

I've got a module on the OBD2 connector on my Vette that will allow me to roll down the windows from the remote. Is the one you're talking about something like this or something different? I'd love to have auto down from the remote on my SS as well.

I've installed the 530T to get auto-down to both windows. You could also buy a factory module to get auto-down for the passenger side. I'm working on getting the 529T to allow remote auto-down of the windows but the 529T i have is busted. if I can fix it today and get it working I'll post a write-up for both.

yes it was factory parts, I just bought another express down module from GMPartsdirect, it's like 25 bucks or so, and you wire up your passenger winde just like the driver, it's COOOOOOOOOOOL

Search "express down module" and it should bring up the write up, it was a while back.

Thanks Txhorns281. I was searching for "auto down mod" and coming up empty handed.

Here is the link for the factory mod.
