That's a hearty about of time.

Alleviation of redundant circuits' potential fires is easy with a self resetting circuit breaker. But you would need one on every window motor wire since polarity reverses so that would be 8 circuit breakers... Plus maybe a couple for initial power feeds just to be safe.

Again, doable. But agreed on ridiculous.

What's the purpose of the second switch? I don't think I've ever heard of this idea.
Disagree with bold.

That does not solve the second problem in my post above. The first switch can't operate if the second master is sending ground on both remote wires all of the time it is not in use. It won't burn up with enough breakers, but it won't work, either.

Also the breakers on the window motor wires would be beyond the shorts. They would have to be installed on each sending wire from each switch so that is 2 wires x 4 windows x 2 switches = 16 breakers and then four more in case the local switch and a master conflicted. Local power is separate from the master switch feed. You might avoid this last depending on how you solve the steady state double ground signal issue. I am not seeing how you could wire a breaker to protect a master conflicting with the other master on that master's local window. Sketch that one for me, please.....the EWD is in my post above.

I think you end up just putting the breaker on the main feed just after the relay. Still, not really safe and still does not solve the steady state double ground issue. The only way I can think of to fix that needs 16 NC relays to cut ground to the other master each time one sends positive. I'm not sure relays are fast enough to prevent problems from a momentary short. You might just pop breakers rather than move windows.
