Abstract: A vehicle window control system is provided. The vehicle window control system includes a window switch that generates a first signal, a first computer that reads a state of the window switch and generates a second signal, and a second computer that controls movement of the vehicle window based on either the first signal or the second signal. The second computer receives the second signal from the first computer through serial communication and the first signal from the switch portion through a hardwire.

Abstract: A remote access system is configured for use with a fob configured to lock and unlock a vehicle, the vehicle including a door having a handle, a window, and a window actuator. The system includes a position sensor configured to detect proximity between and relative position of the fob and the door of the vehicle. The remote access system also includes a contact sensor configured to detect contact with the handle. The system further includes a processor configured to communicate with the position sensor and the contact sensor to lower the window a predetermined amount that facilitates opening of the door via the window actuator upon the processor determining: 1) the handle has been contacted, and 2) the fob is disposed at a specified position relative to the door of the vehicle.
