i was looking for the RAP module location for the 4th gen cam-bird. found a picture and guess what else i saw? an expess down module and its location. the 93-95 taurus uses these too, just unsure of their location. for both cars, they are just for down. but if you want up, you need to wire in a second module to the up part of the switch. these are a great cheap solution if you want to add express up and/or down to your windows. this means 2 modules per window run some long wires and find a place to tuck em away somewhere in a fiero

or you can go the expensive route and get some DEI (directed electronics) one touch up/down modules. these are like 100 bux per module, BUT they control up AND down. an even better AND, one module controls two windows. so thats just one module needed. pricey tho...

so there are some choices for express one touch windows. CHEAP or $$$$. MANY or JUST ONE. TAKES UP SPACE or USES LESS SPACE. your choice. they both have thier pros and cons.

BUT WAIT, THERES MORE!

the 4th gens have a DRL module you can also use. its located behing the radio and has two 8 pin connectors going into it. one black and one blu plug. i have yet to find a picture of its location and schems for the pinouts. i may have them in another email i sent to my personal email from here at work.

thats all for now. stay tuned for more. may not be from a 4th gen or another car, but there WILL be something

Interesting options there americasfuture2K. I'm (slowly) working on a stretched F355 rebody with N* & F40 trans. I'd like to update the functionality of the interior with some of these neat ideas while the interior is out of it. I liked the idea in your other thread too about the RAP. Great thinking outside the box. Keep it up.

Don't forget the mid 90s Bonneville...they are way more plentiful in the pull a part yards here in Seattle. I think I see 20 Bonnevilles to one fourth gen Firebird/Camaro. I used the following in my 87 T-top:
Front door panels...modified
Console...modified
Express down module (located in left front door)..one for each side of my Fiero
RAC; I guess this is the term Bonneville uses for the RAP module..just picked that up yesterday. It is located behind the glove box.


The high end Bonnevilles (SSE SSEi) also had Bose sound systems and heads up displays...but these are usually the first to go.

Any news on the DRL module, I'm very interested in a how to/wiring schematic on that! Plus, it took me forever to track down this post... I found what I thought was a DRL module, and remember that I read about it somewhere (this thread!). Turns out it's a RAP module of wich I will be installing now, after reading your other thread. I remember grabbing this instead of the express down module some time ago and wondered what it was after trying to wire it up... -Jason

for the DRL, it looks like the WebElectric universal kit would be much easier to install. the camaro one needs a light sensor. i explain it all in that other post, modernize your fiero with technology!
