If I add 3 other switches, (hopefully there's room for the "little latch" that trips), and extend the wires elsewhere for the relays....

Would it be a particular security hazzard if you just connected the switches to the main battery. Perhaps *if* the windows are the only things on [their own] circuit, you could easily do this at the fuse box. -- "Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" |
