OEM Power Window Switches
Hey guys here’s what I got, I bought nu relic power window kit for 69 Camaro and I don’t want to use the stock style switches that come with the kit. So I bought Watson street work window switches and a Ron Francis black box (basically a relay box). The issue I came across now is that I don’t have a good place in the dash or center console to mount the Watson street works switches. If anyones been following my build I have a Mercedes dash with 17 Camaro center console and I’m planning to use BMW 4 series door panels. I had an idea to use the BMW window switches as they just push in the holes and are 3 pin just like the Watson street works switches, however, today I got a BMW switch and it won’t work because there’s no continuity between the 3 pins so it seems as if it’s just sending a signal to the bcm. Anyway, any ideas on what OEM window switches that are push in that I can use with nu relics and black box?
Here’s the style or look of the switches I’m looking for.

The switches may be changing resistance values between pins.
I'm old school with either a switch opening or closing but some of this new stuff is on 5V setups and to get something like a power window to go up the window controller might have to see 200 ohms from the switch in the up position and then 100 ohms when the switch is in the down position to get the controller to put the window down.
I did a quick search on the12v.com for BMW wiring and they show a lot of canbus stuff.

Hi,
Did some searching online. Found a company, AEW, that sells universal power window kits. Also multiple switch styles.
https://www.yumpu.com/en/document/re...w-catalog-2019 Wondering if their part number JW-39TO would
be of any interest. Appears to have push, pull style actuation. The BX-10 unit works well, used one several years ago.
It will allow one touch up/down window operation if you didn't know. Also looked through Dorman products online, window
switches. Most of those appear to attach to a bezel, then fasten to panel. Are you looking for single switch modules, or
a four switch unit?
Just offering help.
