this is a high current (two windows going at once is at least 30a) application so if you ran little itty bitty wire you are going to have problems with it overheating as it trys to pass the current.

You need a MINIMUM of 12 gauge if both windows are going at once.

i dont think it is cus the wire. if that was the case i think the windows would atleast move, maybe they would get hot and burn up but the relays would atleast open. thats not even happening.

who knows man.
