    My dog loves to roll windows down, and sometimes she will jump out. So I usually have to kill the truck if I leave her in it for any amount of time. I used to just put the window lock on and remote start after I get out, but she learned that just the driver window was accessible and goes right to that one. So I need a kill switch to kill all power to all windows. (Excluding back sliding window, she hasn't figured that out yet) ... how can I find out where I can tap in etc etc?

    You could easily put a toggle switch in the dash to control power to all windows. Any time the switch is off none of the windows will work. Any time the switch is one and key on, the windows will work.

    Is this what you were wanting?

    that is exactly what I need, yep. Would I have to tap into the fuse that handles the power windows? Or is there a specific wire I have to track down to tap a switch into? .. just curious how I have to approach this?

    I would find the main power wire going into the master switch and by a toggle switch inline on it. When opened it will disrupt the flow of power to the window motors, when closed it will work as intended.

    This could be done at the connector on the bottom of the window switch on driverside.
