Help Me Find a Relay
I'm looking for a relay for my power windows. I would like to use just one per side instead of two, but I can't find anyone local who knows enough for me to describe it to them.
What I'm looking for is a relay that uses two control wires to move the contact in tree different positions; power up, power down, and neutral. Does such an animal exist? A part number would be helpful

Programmable Relay
http://www.thinkeasy.com/easy412.htm
Here is a 12V programmable relay. This has 8 inputs and 4 relay outputs. I 'think' it's around $100 and will do both sides. These work just like PLC's (Programmable Logic Controllers). I think the output relays are rated at 8 amps. If I'm understanding your electrical configuration correctly, this would be the I/O table:
Inputs
1) Drivers Side Switch Up
2) Drivers Side Switch Down
3) Passenger Side Switch Up
4) Passenger Side Switch Down
5) Not Used
6) Not Used
7) Not Used
8) Not Used
Outputs
1) Drivers Window Up
2) Drivers Window Down
3) Passenger Window Up
4) Passenger Window Down

I don't have PW so a wasn't sure what the Amp draw was. The problem was trying to have 1 relay control dual inputs. This is the only way I know to do that.
