Install Locking Window Switches?

My poor dog keeps rolling up the window on her own head. I'm surprised she hasn't cut it clean off already.

Is it possible to install locking windows?

there should be a lock on the DS controls that locks them.

I would think so. Just break the circuit with a switch.

I cannot send the PDF schematic that I have.

It might give you a hint.
Maybe someone smarter than me, can post the schematic.

no locks on the drivers side. 2001 F250. I think I'll take her to a car stereo place and pick their brains a bit.

My 02 CC already has the locks. I don't know if Super Cab and Regular Cab had them in 02 or not. If it is contained in the door it may be plug and play if you find the panel that holds switches with the lock. If not I'm sure we could make it work.

If you don't have the 'lockout' switch for all the windows from the facte a little teidous but obviously worth the effort to 'update' your wiring & switches to a setup that has that function. The othere 'non-oem' was would be to install a rocker switch in-liner to the (+) lead for that window and then run the wiring for up to your preferred location. If you go the 2nd way, I'd use lighted rockers so that night-time viewing is simple.

My 2003 XLT EC doesn't have them. Maybe it was a Lariat or King Ranch thing.

My 01 F350 CCLB has the lockout switch in the DS door, my fathers 03 single cab has the same. I'm betting that the door is wired, all you should have to do is get the panel that carries the lockout switch.

Mine originally came without a bed, not Lariat or King Ranch.

Hopefully this is it, easy. And I would like for it to look factory and not have some toggle switch or something out of the ordinary mounted. Thanks.

And here's Pumpkin with her head free on my side. This is how she usually travels but on the passenger side. She keeps her paws on the door handle, right where the switches are. One minute we're cruising down the road "just the two of us" style and the next it's her screaming bloody Mary and having a fit, her neck caught in a glass guillotine by her own damn doing. Poor girl.

Anyways, Pumpkin thanks you all for your help. I'll look into the panel.

Don'' t these trucks have a safety that reverses the window when something stops the closing movement?

Also....does the factory lockout system work on the front doors.....my grandsons 93 Explorer only locks the rear door windows.

As far as I know, there is no window safety on these trucks.
On my truck, all window controls are locked (except Driver controls) with that switch.

The locking window switch is only standard on trucks with leather seats Just kidding if course. Might call the boneyard up in Austin, Nicmike seems to have good experience with them and prices are reasonable. It's in the 'gold mine' thread.
