Don't you just love it when a tricky job works out.

Trying to complete multiple modifications to my new Patrol for Xmas and its time for a new CB radio - hard to get motivated as you just know its going to take all weekend - but off we go as I squeezed the wire cutters and severed a multiple wire loom that had to be extended 200mm under the dash.

Then it came time to mount the aerial thru the roof centre and somehow I managed to get it thru in only 1/2 hour and even feed the antenna cable complete with plug attached thru the dropped down roof lining , down the drivers A pillar and the lead was actually long enough to reach the radio.

Ahead of schedule now I watched the V8 supercars as Jamie Wincup got his car onto the track at the race end then effectivly lost the championship after a massive accident re-build effort just because he was short of completing a full return lap as the race was called early because time was up
Talk about stiff luck !

Back out at the Patrol I thought I'd try and get one more mod in.

I hate the power window's operation which is that the car key has to be set to ignition just to wind the windows down.

Eight years ago I solved this problem with my other Patrol, and I read my own documentation from 2002 and took a gamble.

And yep we just had to move the same Red/Yellow wire at the back of the fuse panel and splice it into the Green/Red wire 1 inch to the left and now the power windows operate with the key on accessories just like the cars radio & new CB etc.

Much more civilized , and to think that the same wires in the same colour have stayed in same place over 8 years of manufacture.

Gotta love GU Patrols.
