Window switches...

[urq]

Tony's right of course, but if you are planning to use them for some other
application make sure you understand how they are connected internally to
ensure that it doesn't cause problems with your application.  When the
switch is in the neutral position there are connections which allow current
to pass through the switch.  This is done to allow the switches to be "daisy
chained" where the switch in the driver's door can control all windows.  In
cars like the V8 this capability is also used to allow the lock controller
to command all windows up and sunroof closed when the door key is left in
the lock position.

Yes, that is exactly what they do. If you have the plug for them,
these are the green and black wires that come from the switch. Their
plug is sort of seperate, but snapped into the bigger one.
