If you decide to do car tuning, thenbe sure to find out how to connect the power windows yourself. This is a very useful revision that will make it easier to drive. Many motorists, when arming the car, forget to close the windows - and this is a tasty morsel for small thieves.

Connection of automatic closers will allowto avoid problems, the machine will be protected as much as possible. For domestic and imported cars, the glass lifts of the brands "Berkut" and "Granat" are perfect - an ideal price-quality ratio, and most importantly - versatility and simple installation.

Types of electric windows

There are three types of electric windows:

1. Cables are the cheapest, but they cope withits main task. True, the speed of lowering and raising the glass is very small. In the event that the glass is frozen, the cable breaks. The entire drive is out of order, the glass falls inside the door.
2. Rack-type window rails often break when the glass freezes. It is necessary to lubricate the mechanisms, otherwise they will become stuck.
3. Articulated levers, the most expensive, but also the most reliable. Moving the glass is done quickly enough, practically do not make noise, do not break in case of freezing glasses.

Since it is correct to connect the power windowscan only be provided that there are all the necessary elements, you need to make sure that the complete set of the device is complete. In the box with window lifters there must be wires, plugs, fasteners, buttons, cuffs. The presence of all these components will facilitate the installation of the device.

Dismantling the door

Before installing the electric window, it is necessary to disassemble the old device that is on the doors. To do this, you need to perform a number of actions:

1. Completely to de-energize the car, having disconnected frombattery negative terminal. If you can not do this, then you need to pull out the fuse, which is responsible for powering the cigarette lighter, control buttons and dashboard.
2. Then it is necessary to dismantle the upholstery from the doors on which the installation of the electric windows will be carried out.
3. Fixation of the glass must be done with the help of an adhesive tape. When disassembling it will not fall inside the door.
4. Remove the bolts securing the glass to the mechanism.
5. The guide of the mechanism is fixed by means of four nuts. You must first unscrew the lower, then the middle and upper.
6. Then it is necessary to unscrew the three nuts that secure the mechanism of the power windows near the rotation knob.

After all these stages have been carried out,it is possible to completely dismantle the old mechanical actuator of the window regulator. Before you connect the power windows to the VAZ or foreign car, you need to install the entire drive mechanism.

Installation of electric hoist

To reduce the number of wires inserted in the door, you need to connect the button and the electric drives according to the following scheme:

In order to install the electric window regulator, perform the following steps:

1. The entire drive must be placed inside the door. It is installed through the technological holes having the largest size.
2. Secure it with two pins thatInsert a new mechanism into the holes corresponding to the middle nuts of the old guide rail. Fix with nuts. Be sure to install under them lock washers, which will not allow you to wring out the nuts.
3. Then you need to combine the fasteners thatare located on the power window and glass. To do this, connect the power supply to the drive motor. The drive must lift the entire lever up. Wait for the holes in the fasteners to align. Then it is necessary to fix them with the help of bolts. They are complete with an electric window regulator.

Before using the intended mechanisms,always lubricate all rubbing surfaces. Only in this case is the stable and trouble-free operation of the mechanism guaranteed. And now the most important thing is how to connect the button of the VAZ window regulator yourself, using the simplest schemes. And if you do not understand electrical, then it is better to entrust all work to professionals.

Closers of glass

These are very useful mechanisms necessary forautomatic closing of all windows of the car during arming. With the help of closers, the driver guarantees the safety of his own car. Do not constantly check if the windows are closed in the car. General scheme of work:

1. In the door closer device there is a control unit that connects to the car security system and power windows.
2. When the alarm system is activated, power is supplied to the electric motors via the control unit.
3. The automatic glass closers do not work at the time when the driver opens and closes the glass. It is turned on only after the car is armed.

On most car alarms, eventhe cheapest, there are control outputs for connection to electric windows, door locks and other actuators. Before you connect the power window unit to the car alarm, you need to make sure that the security system allows you to do this.

Additional functions of door closers

Multifunction devices are able to perform the following actions:

1. If the correct setting is made, you can control four panes at once, in one or several directions.
2. You can configure the function forreturn the glass in the automatic mode to its original position. In other words, door closers first close the windows during arming. And after the alarm is turned off, open the windows. This makes it much easier to use the car, the driver does not have to constantly open and close the windows.
3. During the activation of the security system, the door closer in automatic mode blocks the chain to which the button for lowering and lifting the glasses is connected.
4. In the most functional devices, the control module can be adjusted to ensure its stable operation with various types and designs of electric windows.

If necessary, the motorist can connect and configure additional keys to fine tune the electric windows.

Varieties of door closers

In total, there are two types of systems for finishing glass, the number of functions that they perform:

1. Simple systems that can only raise to the maximum level of the glass during arming.
2. Multifunctional systems capable of storingthe exact position of the glass, have a fairly high cost. It is necessary to know how to connect window lifters to the alarm system with your own hands, so that all systems work in normal mode. Quite a lot of functions are present in such mechanisms. For example, in the event that there is an obstacle when closing the windows, the door closer of the glass automatically returns it to its original position.

Which type of closers should I use?

As mentioned above, multifunctional devices are able to return the glass to a position corresponding to the one that was before arming.

But the cost of such devices is quite high, andmany opportunities are simply not used by motorists. Therefore, there is no sense in overpaying, it is much easier to install cheap designs that allow only to close windows after the alarm is turned on.

How to install door closers?

Mounting the device is done according to the following instructions:

1. In order for the whole mechanism to work correctly anduninterruptedly, you need to bring it to the food. Plus output should be taken from the battery and lead to the control unit. It is best to mount it under the dashboard or directly in the doors. Be sure to read the instructions that come with the door closer. In it there is a scheme of electrical connections, recommendations, which it is desirable to observe during mounting.
2. According to the scheme, it is necessary to connect all the wires from the car alarm system to the control unit for the door closers and electric motors.
3. Connecting the power windows toThe door closer can be carried out by means of one or two wires. One wire is used to drive the glass lift only upwards. In the case of multi-function devices, two-wire power can be used to return the glasses to their original position.

Verifying device operation

Upon completion of all work, afterconnect the power window buttons, you need to check the operation of the entire device. To do this, press the control buttons for the front and rear windows. If they work, leave one or more panes half open. Close the doors and set the car to arm. In this case, a signal should be given to the control unit for the door closers. All windows that have been opened must be completely closed.
