    2G windows roll down when car is off

    There actually was a write up that I found a few years ago that allowed his to happen. The ignition controls the power going to the window relay, so its constant. This mod did not cause any power use unless someone hit the window switch. My 98 gsx was like this for a while, I liked it.
