Abstract
A method of operating "left" and "right" electric windows in a vehicle is described. A switch has an actuator manipulable, as by pivoting, from a neutral position to respective ones of a "left front", a "right front", a "left rear" and a "right rear" position, relative to the mounting of the switch in the vehicle. The various actuator positions effect the following responses from the windows: PA0 "Left front"="left" window "up" PA0 "Left rear"="left" window "down" PA0 "Right front"="right" window "up" PA0 "Right rear"="right" window "down". The switch actuator may also be movable directly to a "front" position which drives both the "left" and "right" windows "up", or to a "back" position which drives both windows "down". Further, manipulation of the actuator in another plane may be used to switch between "front" and "rear" window control.
