3. Safety Information

Important Safety Precautions:

  • Professional Installation Recommended: Installation involves vehicle electrical systems. Incorrect wiring can cause damage to the vehicle or the module. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified automotive technician.
  • Disconnect Battery: Always disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal before beginning any electrical installation to prevent short circuits and electrical shock.
  • Verify Voltage: Ensure your vehicle operates on a DC12V electrical system. This module is not compatible with other voltage systems.
  • Secure Wiring: Route all wires carefully to avoid pinching, chafing, or interference with moving parts. Secure connections with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing.
  • Test Thoroughly: After installation, test all functions of the module and the vehicle's windows to ensure proper operation before reassembling interior panels.
  • Window Obstruction: Be aware that automatic window closing can pose a risk if an object or body part is in the window's path. Ensure the area is clear before activating the system.

4. Setup and Installation

This section provides general guidance for installation. Due to variations in vehicle wiring, specific instructions for your vehicle model may differ. Professional installation is strongly advised.

4.1. Pre-Installation Steps

  1. Identify the power window motor wires for both front doors.
  2. Locate a reliable DC12V constant power source and a ground point.
  3. Identify the trigger wire from your vehicle's central locking system that provides a positive pulse when the doors are locked. This is often labeled as "power windows" on alarm systems.
  4. Disconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal.

4.2. Wiring Connections

The EWC-2 module typically requires connections to the following:

  • Power (Red Wire): Connect to a constant DC12V power source (e.g., directly to the battery or a fused constant power line).
  • Ground (Black Wire): Connect to a solid chassis ground point.
  • Window Motor Wires: The module will interrupt the existing window motor wiring. Typically, two wires from the module connect to the "up" side of each window motor, and two wires connect to the "down" side, or directly in line with the motor power. Consult a vehicle-specific wiring diagram.
  • Lock Trigger Wire: Connect to the positive pulse output from your vehicle's central locking system that activates upon locking.

Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.

4.3. Post-Installation Steps

  1. Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal.
  2. Test the manual operation of both power windows to ensure they function correctly.
  3. Test the automatic window closing function by locking the vehicle doors using your remote. The windows should roll up automatically, one by one.
  4. If all functions operate as expected, secure the module in a safe, dry location within the vehicle, away from excessive heat or moisture.

5. Operating Instructions

The EASYGUARD EWC-2 module operates automatically once correctly installed.

  • Automatic Window Closing: After exiting your vehicle, simply lock the doors using your vehicle's remote control. The EWC-2 module will detect the lock signal and automatically roll up both power windows, typically one by one, until they are fully closed.
  • Remote Window Closing: This feature allows you to close windows remotely by locking the car doors.

6. Maintenance

The EASYGUARD EWC-2 module is designed for maintenance-free operation. To ensure longevity and reliable performance:

  • Keep Dry: Ensure the module is installed in a dry location, away from water and excessive moisture.
  • Secure Connections: Periodically check wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
  • Avoid Physical Damage: Protect the module from physical impact or extreme vibrations.

7. Troubleshooting

  • Ensure all fuses are intact.
  • If issues persist, consult a professional installer.
Only one window closes.
  • Incorrect wiring for the non-closing window motor.
  • Faulty connection to one window motor.
  • Recheck wiring connections for the affected window motor.
  • Ensure proper insulation and secure contacts.
Windows close partially or intermittently.
  • Low voltage supply.
  • Loose connections.
