should it yes but does it nope...i would rather like an audible click to let me know my window is going all the way down so i can stop it if it does. example im on the freeway and it goes all the way down and blows all my loose things around like crazy instead of just cracking it a lil to get some crisp fall air in there lol

Push the button and hold it just briefly (1/2 second or so), and the window will stop when you release the button. It only does the auto-down thing if you press-and-release quickly, and while it's doing that you can press the button quickly again to stop it.

It's in the owners manual...

It doesn't click because it's not mechanical--it's operated by the GEM (General Electronics Module)
The driver power window one-touch down operation is controlled by the generic electronic module (GEM). This feature functions only when the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACCY positions. The GEM determines ignition switch position by monitoring the key-in ignition, RUN/ACCY and RUN/START circuits.

The one-touch down operation is requested of the GEM by momentarily pressing the driver window regulator control switch DOWN for 62 ms to 320 ms. The GEM uses the initial voltage input from the down switch to begin the one-touch down operation.

If the voltage input was less than 320 ms, the GEM will maintain the voltage supply to the motor down circuit. The GEM will maintain the operation until:
  • seven seconds expires.
  • motor stall is detected by monitoring the current draw.
  • a voltage input is received by the GEM on either the up or down switch circuits.

The ground for one-touch down operation does not pass through the GEM.

The ground is supplied through the driver window regulator control switch as with normal operation.

If the GEM continues to see voltage on the down circuit for more than 320 ms after initial activation the GEM will not effect operation. The down circuit through the GEM is a direct connection to the motor in its normal state. This allows the driver window regulator control switch to control the motor for normal operation.
