Power window question

[fastivaca]

I'm going to be installing power windows later this spring. I've got the assemblies from a 323 and two or three different switch options to go with, two from other Mazdas and one from a Nissan.

Do I need to install additional relays or can the switches and motors be wired directly?

I'll try to remember to take photos when I do this job. Remembering is not one of my strong points though... now what was I talking about?!

that depends on the switches. SPDT will need a relay, DPDT can be wired directly, assuming the switch is rated for enough current (amps).

What is SPDT and DPDT?
