Making a duration switch (electronics engineering question)

[jdk906s]

You'll have to forgive my lack of proper electronics terminology. I work on digital stuff, never analog.

Basically I want to build a small circut that allows me to convert duration switchs (like the passenger window or my aftermarket electric moonroof) into a momentary switch that will keep going for X number of seconds. Basically make an autodown for the passenger side and a one touch close and open for the moonroof.

Is there any easy way to do this? Aftermarket circut to splice in or small circut to build?

when i had my VW, there was a thing on VW Vortex about adding something like a diode to make it work like that. go to the site, and try doing a search. if i wasnt lazy, i'd do it for u, but i am so sorry

why dont you try getting the drivers side switches on the door from a junkyard and figuring a way to hack it up so it fits on the passenger side that way you will have auto down

#1. They want a lot for those. Already had to replace the factory one.
#2. That still wouldn't work for my moonroof.
