Re: Closing windows with the remote key AR 147

I've been doing my research and I've had some success
My car is a 2005 Facelift 147. Only the drivers side window is automatic up (both down) and there are NO anti-crush sensors on my car!
Using the Alfa Romeo eLearn CD I've managed to trace where both sensors should plug into the drivers side electric window / wing mirror control unit. They plug into connector H44a, 3a in the below picture which is the smaller of the two. The drivers side sensor plugs into pins 2/3 and the passenger side sensor plugs into pins 8/9. I don't have any wires plugged into those ports!
Setting anti-trap sensors present creates two errors, one for each anti-trap sensor as they are missing. Using an altimeter I managed to get the voltage down from 5V to 2.8V and I was able to get both windows working automatically, although not at the same time.
So I now need to figure out what size resistor I will need and how to keep them in place. I'll probably solder the resistor to some wire and hot glue the wire into the connector. Dirty but it will work!
I'll update this thread once I've figured it out
