Remove your center console and disconnect the 6 wire harness that goes

to the power window switches.  On the car side of the harness cut the

black wire with the white stripe and connect a constant +12 volt

source.   Reconnect the harness and replace the console.



I had already run a wire (fused of course) directly from my battery for

power locks and remote start so I used that, but you could probably find

a source at the fuse box under the drivers side dash or tap off one the

constant wires in your ignition harness.  You should use an inline fuse

with your new connection (30 amps I think).  Don't use your radio +12

wire because it is fused at 10 amps or so, and your window motors are

not relay switched.
