Would it be rather easy or a Pain to make the Passenger Window a Express Down Window like the Driver side?? I only want to make the Express Feature work by pushing the Down on the Driver side Panel. Im sure replacing the Button with a double Arrow is easy enough but what electronics are involved? (Relays,Boards,etc...)

Has anyone tried this Mod?

I'm sure you could do it, not so sure on how hard it'd be.

You'd have to replace the switch on the drivers side. You'd possibly have to run a new wire from the switch to the passenger door.

You'd have to figure out what the mechanism is that makes auto-down work on the drivers side, and then duplicate it on the passenger's window. It might be just a sensor and solonoid, or it might require a different window motor. It might just be a little black box that works with the existing hardware.

Why not have auto-down on the passenger side switch too?

I was looking to see if it could be done without making a huge project out of it.

I was thinking that the Window Switch itself would have to be the brain that controls the Express Feature. You click it and the Switch would stay on til the Window comes to a Stop, It must Notice the Voltage Drain and then shut off the switch.
Im shooting the Dark with this one, But It seems to make the Most sense Considering that Ford wouldnt put too much thought or technology into something like a Express Window Feature

Check with Slowpoke. I think he may have done this.

Ther's a topic about this very thing on CVN or CV.org, can't remember. But in anycase I do know that it said you need another module in order to make the auto down work from the drivers side and you'll need a new module for each and every window you want express down.
