Inspired by another thread here on tuners I found the vfaq tutorial how to hack your window switch to get the auto-up-feature on the driver's side.

Auto-up driver's power window and switch cleaning for 1G DSMs

Unfortunately that hack is only for 1Gs. Now I'd like to know if there is a way to make my 2G window switch auto-up my window. Does anyone know if that tutorial is applicable on the 2nd gen Eclipses?

And is there any way to get the auto-up and down feature on the passenger's side?
 
I could've sworn my Viper alarm's power window module gave me the power down/up options but it's been a while since I had the module installed. That's one avenue you may want to investigate.
 
I have an older viper alarm installed. my manual doesn't tell me anything about that power window module :(

@spyderdrifter: I'd love to hear more from you.
 
The module was a separate module you had to purchase. Allowed remote control of the windows and I swear it added auto-up/down too. Been a while. I got them back in like 2000 so they've been around for a while.
 
Search google for it. It's a $50 module that you add to the drivers window wiring. It adds auto up for the drivers window and auto down & up for the passenger window, controlled from the drivers side.

You'd have to purchase another module to have the passenger control do it as well.

It's a Directed Electronics 530t module.
 
So I just looked through my spare parts and it turns out I got 3 spare passenger side switches and the only driver side unit is the one in my car. Don't think that'll help. Should be going by the salvage yard this weekend so I'll grab one then.
 
It would be cool to make that mod happen with just some diods or relays rather than using new modules for 100$. Btw those modules seem to be the Viper modules mentioned before.
 
Kudos if you figure out a simple mod for the 2G switch.

530T for me tied to a Code Alarm system.

Auto up at alarm arming or before remote start, one touch up or one touch down via driver's side switch on both windows, auto vent both windows during remote start.

It's hard to accomplish all of that with simple mods but the DEI module will handle it nicely. There's still a lot of wiring to do so don't think it's a quick install.
