Window switch description

Obviousley not for the MK lol

I need an Electric window switch but don't know what to get or how to describe it to look for or buy one.

The windows i'm trying to control are wired direct to the motors via the switches.

Hope this makes some senct to somebody as its wrecking my brain!
The current switches swap the polarity internally to make the windows go up and down (but when at rest still have some backfeed to earth(-ve)

So to allow a total closure module to work i'm thinking I need a switch that is Completely disconected when a rest, when you press up give 1 contact -Ve and 1 contact +ve and then the opposite when you press the switch the other way.

No there's service!

I'll take your word for that but it sounds good lol just rememberd i'll need momentary action as well.

Just got to find one, am looking on RS site now

Yeh, trouble is it needs to look good in a car

All i want is total closure it it soo bloody difficult, all the modules you can buy all seem to be for cars with ECU's or limit switches on the motors.
