The car is a HGT. The driver's window needs to be hold for around 2 seconds and then it will go to the bottom without the need of constantly keeping your finger on the button. However, the passenger's window is "normal" as it would go up/down depending on whether you are pressing the button or not.

My question is, which module is responsible for that? I would like to have my passenger automatically go up and down as well. The Haynes manual doesn't include the HGT, but only the 1.2 petrols. I used to have a Sporting and it didn't have this feature.

I have a basic 1.2 8v and i changed my centre console to the silver one. And also the window control switch section to the silver one. This then allowed me to have auto window on drivers side.

So im pretty sure that the module is in the window switch making it near enough impossible to do the passenger side
 
Hmm.. I used to have a silver one (both fog light switches and cd changer console) so I bought dark ones from a scrap yard and it still worked (the automatic window).. I guess I was really lucky then? Though I still keep the original silver switches so I can see if I can extract something from there.. Thanks for the heads up

You'll probably find its just a switch like anything else, its controlled by the body control unit

Pretty much what I was thinking of, because if the car is running this automatic-sliding works, but if it is just on battery with the ignition key, it doesn't

Well the power to the switchs doesn't change
The power to the BSI Will, the BSI (body computer / control unit)
Will know its on battery power and might think you want to crack the window vs roll it down

after all - less power used = More power to start

I think oxruss


is right,


iirc he got the silver switches off me, if so they came from a fully loaded HGT,


so he might be right that the one touch windows is part of the switch 'assy.

Yep its the switch from oldhammer. So im pretty sure that there must be something different in the switch. And the function in the car is already there. Quite similar to me having the button for front fog lights that works and lights up on dash but i dont have any front fog light.

is this left hooker or RHD punto?
 
It's left direction punto

I haven't gotten the time to check the console switch, but will probably around the end of the weekend
 
I've got electric windows in my Eleganza, it does the same thing. The electric window switches in my old Stilo and Alfa 156 were mounted on the door but they did the same thing. Driver's window was automatic but passenger window you had to hold the button down. The passenger window was however automatic from the passenger's button on the passenger door. As a cost saving feature on the Punto they had mounted the window buttons in the middle of the dash to make it easier to sell LHD or RHD, but seem to have kept this same 'safety' feature.
