Take a look through the different types of switches in automotive and electronics types catalogs. Then wire one up as a power switch to toggle the power going to the power seat. Then mount it where the girth doesn't hit... .

I think with the key off the windows SHOULD work, and the seats and mirrors NOT. JMHO of course.

I totally agree, and am forever having to readjust the seat... . That switch idea sounds great... a lot easier than reducing my girth...

My 2 1/2 year old really likes riding in the middle and when I lean in to set her in the carseat, while standing on the ground with 4X4, the seat moves via belly on the buttons. It has happened so much and I have told her so many times "hold on a minute, daddy has to move the seat first" before I get in to strap her in that now she just says it for me. Smart kid.

a fix for me

i have the gut/wieght um seat problem, gonna fix mine in a week or two. 6"superlift w/37" tires and my buttons will be up out of the way



i wish the windows and radio would work with the key off until you open a door like on brand "C".

Try this:

It was talked about on 2nd gen, but should work similar on 3rd gen. I don't know if the power for seats and windows is as close together as it is on the 2nd gen though.



The easiest thing for me was to add jumpers to switch the power from one to the other. I tried to attach a photo:

Edit: maybe this will work better...

Yep. Every blasted time I lean in to grab something, though with my leg or knee, not my belly (only 'cause I'm too short & have to stand on the step to reach across the seat)...
