How does it work?
The WDC consists of two boards, one to detect the door opening as well as run the various timing and "Logic" functions. The second board is for Power Management, this connects to the car's window circuits and also switches the entire WDC system off when the car is left dormant, this reduces battery drain to zero whilst the car sleeps.
Installation Overview
To install this system it is necessary to splice 5 wires into the existing car wiring circuits, they are all quite accessible.
There are two wires, one for each door, which are spliced into the courtesy light switch
connections behind the foot-well speaker-grill panels.
There is a single connection which passes under the tunnel and rear floor carpet, then under the rear seat to be spliced to the Hood up/down detector micro-switch.
Two cables run from the Power Management Board. One to the rear of the Cigar Lighter under the front center console, and the other to any of the four Grey/Green wires which enter each of the four window control switches.
So that's a total of five splices.
It is also necessary to cut and extend 4 earth wires which run from the two front window control switches, to car body earth, they come from pins 4 and 5 respectively, and these will be diverted through the Power Management Board and then back to the car body earth.
So that's four wires which we need to cut and extend, and one System Earth
return cable to connect.
