I don't think you'd need a relay. I assume if you open/close all windows at once, it should not draw that much current. But if you have a motor or two that fight against old window seals to raise or lower the glass, then yeah you could get higher amperage draw.

Give it a try, I think that since you are always there when you raise or lower the windows, you will see if the switch that bridges the wires, gets too hot... and you could always say short it intentionally, to see if it will handle 30amps thru and burn the fuse, or if it will spark and melt! haha

If you want to put a relay in the door, here is a edited diagram of the same thing with a relay. It is all doable right there at the door controls bezel


Thanks again Pavel! I am thinking about using this nifty "Window Lock" switch from a 1st gen 4Runner:





I'll only use two of the leads. It's a simple push and stay switch (not sure the EE term for that). It's probably 18ga maybe 16ga.

Wondering if maybe I should just wire in a 10A or 15A fuse with this switch just in case.
