static1646 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I have a 1998 lexus es300. the driver's window is one touch automatic down only. the 2000-2001 models have one touch automatic up and down windows for the driver and passenger front seats. If i switched the window panel controls on the front driver and passenger side with the controls for a 2000-2001 es300 model, would the front driver and side passenger windows automatically be converted to a one touch automatic up and down controls?

1990LS400 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I remember that this question was asked a LONG time ago and I think it was determined that more than just switches were involved in the auto up feature - it might have included an ECU and other parts. Auto-up includes a "pinch protection" safety feature although I've never had any desire to see if it really works. (Ouch!) We had a 1998 Camry that worked the same as your 1998 ES300 - only the driver side window was auto-down and none of the windows were auto-up. I never noticed the difference much over 10+ years when I switched between driving the Camry and a 2000 LS400 that had an "All Auto" feature (all windows had auto up/down). Maybe look at it this way ... your next vehicle will likely have auto up/down with pinch protection on all windows and auto open/close with pinch protection on the sunroof. Auto up/down seems most useful on very hot days when it allows lowering and raising all the windows at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
