Fair enough, though I wasn't thinking of it having anything to do with the SECU, just detecting if there was power flowing through the dome/door circuit and in turn tripping the same relay that the timer does.

Your setup is plenty, just looking for a little extra.

The first unit is now installed in my X and it appears to work well. Now I need to play with it (the window module) for a while.

3 of the 4 wires connect to the power window relay wires. The power window relay is hidden behind the driver's kick panel. The 4th wire gets grounded to one of the bolts that secures the hood release handle.

Now I need to rant about the Xterra wiring. It is the skimpiest I've ever seen. The green/white wire to the power window relay is only 22 gauge . The circuit is fused for 10 amps! I'd be shot if I called out 22 gauge wire on a 10 amp circuit at work. There should be burned up Xterras everywhere but there isn't. I don't know why.

End of rant.

I'm still very interested in this mod. Thank you for keeping us posted.

I have scanned the appropriate page from my Haynes manual, you can see it here:

I see that Haynes shows a 7.5A fuse for the green/white wire. The Nissan manual shows a 10A fuse. I looked in my fuse panel and I'm relieved to see that it really is 7.5A. So my X is slightly less likely to burst into flame.

Hey Ken,
How are your test gadgets working out? I am still very interested in this mod.

Thanks,
Ron

So far there are 3 of them and they seem to be behaving. I guess it's time to get some blank PC boards made up. It should be 3-4 weeks until I have a few "production" units ready.

This project has gone very smoothly, and that always makes me suspicious.

Thought I better put a word and a picture in for the group!

I have one of the test units and it's great. Very easy to install with Ken's instructions. You only need to actually cut one wire from the factory relay and the rest just tap in...anyone could do this. As you can see, the window control is behind the kick panel on the driver's side where it's easy to get to. I haven't had any problems with the functioning of the windows and highly recommend this mod to 2000 owners.

Here's a picture before things were tucked away.

Hey i may have missed if you all ready had said this but are you offering these window mods for sale, because i want to buy one.

I'm ready to purchase too is they are available.

The blank PC boards will arrive on 3/28. I already know the circuit works, I just need to see that I didn't screw up the board artwork.

Now I won't see the blank PC boards until 4/09. The fabricator had an equipment failure and has to catch up. They make a very nice board, so it will still be worth the wait.

Ken, sign me up as well.

I got his fog light mod a year ago and it still works like a charm, as does Staubers wiper mod. Great work.

I would like one of these also

I finally received the blank circuit boards today and I can now offer the window delay modules to anyone that had the patience to wait this long.

Anyone interested should send me an e-mail or a PM. They are $22 including shipping and come with a wiring diagram. Payment can be in the form of Paypal, a check, or a money order and I'll have the module in the mail by the first Saturday following receipt of payment. I'll e-mail the wiring diagram to anyone who'd like to see what's involved in the installation before they take the plunge.

Thanks for supporting Poor Boy Engineering!

My window delay arrived in the mail today, I had it installed in about 15min.

It works! I can't wait to forget to put all my windows up before shutting the truck off

Ken thanks for the new gadget.

I was so programmed to putting my keys back in the ignition that I still do it sometimes. Then I follow it with a knock on the head to remind myself that i don't have to do that anymore!
