5 pin power window switch wiring diagram

If you need to wire up some door lock actuators or add some actuators into your vehicle and you're not really a big fan of using. Relays or if you only wanted to just add say one door lock actuator really super quick and you don't have an existing alarm system that you want to tie into, if you don't want to utilize or make use of any kind of relays in any kind of way, or if you just don't like the wire, realize that's okay too.

We have these things which are called 5 wire power window switches. You can see that this one here is a spell style, has a window icon. They also make these with little up and down arrows for lock and unlock, which are universal. And their 5 wire also illuminated which I'll show you really quick. On the back. You got 5 wires real quick. This is how they wire up. The red is going to be your power positive 12V. And then you're going to have you 2 Browns which are going to go to straight ground.

And then your outputs are going to be reversing polarity. When you hit it this way, your green is going to throw 12V and your blue is going to throw ground. And when you flip the switch in the opposite direction, blue is going to be 12V, green will go to ground. So it's always showing positive negative which is what these types of actuators need to do their job. So how it's done is like this. Not to sound redundant but this is a how to video. So we'll just show you metal conductor like I said positive 12V, the 2 Browns.

And these are common standard wire switches. Wires colors for these types of switches by the way. The 2 Browns constant 12V. Now when I've done that you see that the switch is illuminated. Light off. Say that. So there you go.

Now if you were using this with a doll lock kit I would recommend that you use a non illuminated switch because of course you don't want to drain on your battery. But this year for this application will work great for windows. But if this was the same switch without the illumination or if you just took the light out, this would be perfect for just doing door lock actuators.

Now like I mentioned, you have these 2, what you're going to rest at ground, just as a reference, not that it really matters, but I'm a technical guy, so I talk technical stuff. Just going to take these 2 wires and you can see blue and green, common colors, the door lock actuator. So you can see it's all kind of like everything color to color. Once you get going and doing this kind of stuff, you'll notice this kind of thing over and over again.

So switch is wired up, power on ground. There you go. Now real quick, these switches are rated for 20A. See that? 12V, 20A. That's a lot of power. So this will run easily as many actuators as you could ever want to throw on it. And that's the way it's done. Simple firewire switch, get your actuators. Simple. No relays needed. Easy.
