I'm working through the refurb / upgrade of the dash and have a question about the window switch.
I had read earlier that the switch uses both poles to share the load and reduce the wear on the switch (arcing / pitting). But looking at the details of the switch operation it looks like one pole is used for UP and the other for DOWN, no sharing of the load between the two poles. I would like to use both poles to both reduce the switching resistance (increase current) and improve longevity.
It looks like an easy modification to cut the two wires, on the switch, and use each pole of the switch in parallel. The drawing below shows the before and after conditions of the switch.
I only ask since this seems such a simple improvement to window operation that I must be missing something or others would already be doing it.
What do you think?
