I’m only here to see what @Dave_in_AZ says. This is interesting.
tscottme Thanks this. -
I'd rather have manual crank windows and be done with it. But since the truck manufacturers have to cater to the soccer mom's of the trucking world, I guess we're beholden to more electronic junk.
Throw the cat out. That's exactly how I found this guy. I'd rather throw myself out first and be paraplegic man!!!! -
Don't let the the cat see which fuse you pull either.tscottme and bentstrider83 Thank this.
-
You’ll also want a spare key so he does lock you out.
tscottme and bentstrider83 Thank this. -
Get rid of the cat. Problem solved.
-
Or train the cat?(good luck!)
tscottme Thanks this. -
Lots of anti-cat people in here I see. Dogs or children aren't any better either. At least a cat doesn't shorten lifespan or your wallet like a dog or kids do.

Definitely going to have to find which fuse to pull. I did fashion these duct-tape+rolled paper blocks to hold the window switches up. But burned out the right-hand door motor(the acrid smell from that is something I'd never forget).
With cold weather, the windows semi-permanently up aren't a problem. But I'll definitely have to insert/remove fuse to keep at least one cracked down during the summer. -

I tried that. Cat put the fuse back in and drove off, so I leased him on.tscottme and bentstrider83 Thank this.

Put a toggle switch on the fuse and mount it where the cat won’t step. When it is turned off the window switches will be dead.bentstrider83 Thanks this.
