I have a GMC sonoma 2001 and I want to add a power window switch crank

It has the normal manual crank and want to add a electric one but with the same crank since I dont like the button ones, does anyone have any good recommendations for kits?

So you want to retain the manual window crank handle, but have the function of power windows? Do you want the manual handle to operate the power window?

Yep👍

You'll need power window motors, regulators, and the wiring, then depending on how you want the crank handle to work some kind of custom switch. If you want it to function like an electric assist pedal bike you'll probably need an arduino, if it's just up vs down you can probably 3d print a mechanism to hid the stock switch behind the door handle. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth.

They make crank handles that are switches for power windows( eBay, summit etc) …keeps a vintage look feel , you’ll still have to convert the actual window regulators, motors etc …this used to be a fairly common conversion and still is on 80’s and older cars

Just chuck up an electrical drill on the gear with the window crank removed.

They make a “hot rod” switch like this , or used to.
