Re: power windowswitch for airbags???
Sounds like a good idea I don't think you'll need to use relays because typically an SMC valve only consumes 5.5 watts of energy which is less than .5 amps @ 12 volts other brands are similar.

Re: power windowswitch for airbags???
with fixit
solenoid valves will consume much less current than a window motor. The switches should handle it with no problems. Cool idea, I'm gonna file this idea for future use.

Re: power windowswitch for airbags???
I dont remember if it was Todd Boatwright when he body dropped it or Kevin Cox (both from Oklahoma City) when he redid the interior after he got it from Todd, that did that around 2000-2001 on that late model Chevy x-cab that Charles Armstrong painted real fire on. It was on the cover of Truckin back then. They put in the suburban switches (so there were 4 of them) on the factory armrest. The front 2 worked the windows, the back 2 worked the bags.

Re: power windowswitch for airbags???
hadnt thought of that, id only need front and back anyways, no side to side. ill have to figure how to wire the windows to the switch first, i wanna put in the door panels but was tryin to figure what i was gonna do till i did the bags becuase i needed the factory double switch to work my current switches and didnt wanna have 3 switches on the panel. thisll work for now.
