How to Install the "Express" or "One-Touch" Window Down Feature in a Gen1

This procedure is for installing the "Express" or "One-Touch" window-down
feature for the driver's window (left front) only.

1.  Obtain an express-down module from www.alfitz.com.

2.  Study your module.  Modules have fives wires.  Two of the connector pins
are heavier gauge, and three are lighter.  If you hold the module so that
the heavier pins are on the left and the lighter ones on the right, you are
looking at pins 1-5 left to right.  Wire #1 is red, #2 is white/black, #3
depends on year (see note), #4 is yellow, and #5 is black.  Strip about 1/2"
insulation from the end of each wire.

        NOTE:  If your module came from a 92, the center #3 wire will be
light-blue/black.  If it came from a 93-95, the center wire will be
yellow/green.  Either way it works fine, just be mindful of the colors as
you proceed.  The 92 module is actually closer to the wire colors of Gen1
cars.  One more proof that 92s have Gen2 bodies and Gen1 souls.

3.  Remove keys from ignition.  Remove the driver's door window switches by
removing the phillips-head retaining screw.  Pull the switch assembly out
from the opening as far as you can; it won't be much.

4.  Find the light-blue/black wire (identified as #400 in the EVTM).  A few
inches away from the switch, strip a little insulation from this wire.
Splice into it the center #3 wire on your express module (light-blue/black
or yellow/green).  Use whatever splicing technique you like.  Wrap in
shrink-wrap or tape to insulate.

5.  Find the black wire on the switch (identified as #57 in the EVTM).  A
few inches away from the switch, strip a little insulation from this wire.
Splice into it the #5 wire on your express module (black).

6.  Find the red/yellow LEFT FRONT DOWN wire on the switch (#334).  A few
inches away from the switch, cut the wire through.  Strip 1/2" insulation
from each end.  To the piece of this wire that goes down into the door,
connect the red #1 wire on your express module.  To the piece of this wire
that comes from the switch, connect the white/black #2 wite on your express
module.

7.  Find the yellow/red LEFT FRONT UP wire on the switch (#333).  A few
inches away from the switch, strip a little insulation from this wire.
Splice into it the #4 wire on your express module (yellow).

8.  Flip your window switch assembly right-side up.  Insert the key into the
ignition and turn to RUN or ACC.  Verify that the "one-touch" feature works
on the driver's (left front) window.

9.  Tuck the one-touch module into the opening in the door cover panel, in
between the switch opening and the speaker.  There should just be room to
put the switch back into place and secure it with the retaining screw.
