    Window breaker delete

    So, I got my paws on an early model center console that has the two button holes instead of three. (The early models had the window breaker button up by the hazard switch)

    Anywho, I have no interest in keeping this breaker switch. Can I just jumper the two wires together? Anyone do this and can report they still have all ten fingers?

    I'm sure someone is going to tell me that the breaker is there because the window regulator will have to work harder to crush my fingers so it will cause a higher voltage draw, which in turn would flip the breaker. These people clearly never drove an 83 t-bird with super fast power windows that slice / dice / and julienne.

    I'm not sure that this is true, or that my thirty year old sticky button would even work in such a situation. Worse case I'll keep it attached and pressed in under the center console and hope it doesn't work its way unpopped.

    Wire up to above the hvac panel where the hazards are, you probably have a blank there right?

      No, that space is occupied with other goodies like georges voltmeter (when he finally makes mine), and some other stuff.

      Relocating it doesn't solve my being bothered by it.

        I would just run it under the console, worst case scenario is you pop the shift boot off and click it.

          I just stuck a 30 amp fuse in the plug for the switch. Never had any problems, been there for years.

                    Are you referring to fuse #17 or to wire an inline fuse like a poster mentioned above? Adding another 30amp fuse to the system seems pointless. Does the breaker trip at a high current situation like a fuse, or just a high voltage situation.
