Brace yourselves, this is an odd one.

the 2005+ mustangs have the windows that go down when you open the door and up when you close the door, etc. Does anyone know how they work though? I would like to modify the windows in my 2004 Cobra to do that. I have experience with car electrical wiring so I can handle the project, I just don't know how the 2005 windows do it.

Uses door open sensor and a controller to bump the motor up and down, but is it a module? Surely it doesn't go through the actual computer.
I'm pretty experienced with Arduino and small circuits, maybe I could just make one myself. Any other ideas? Wiring diagrams, parts, etc, if you think its useful post it here!

That feature is built into the window regulator
