While at the mechanics we were working on a stuck door lock on the passenger side. ('93 GTS) The window on the passenger side was down when we locked the door and the window closed automatically.

Is this a standard feature I never heard of or do we have an electrical gremlin? I hope it's a nice feature I never heard of.

Reminds me of a bunch of inebriated hunters working on my '46 ****** at the deer lease. Fixed the starter. Hit the start button and the horn honked. Didn't have the courage to hit the horn.

Normally on the '90 plus cars, if you turn the key to lock and hold it, the windows and sunroof will close for you.

It is a nifty feature.

I think if you read the owners manual it tells of being able to roll up the windows and close the sunroof with the key held in the lock position

Sounds like the stuck door lock is sending a "lock the doors" signal back to the CL controller. (Same as if you hold the key in the lock position.) This then sends a signal to the Window controller to sequentially close the pass window, then sunroof then drivers window for as long as the "lock the doors" signal is held. If you release the key the windows/roof stop closing.

Good point, if the lock is sticking and constantly sending that signal, it would be draining the battery really quick.

Randy,
Sounds like your Key is sending a "Your Focked" signal to the rest of your car!!
Hopefully it won't send a "dont' come to 3rd coast" signal to you as well!!!!

Sorry, thought I'd throw that in!!

Randy Carter

Could be. We had the battery drain down to about .3 amps before fixing the door lock. The battery held its charge that night. We'll see.

i kinda wish they incorporated holding the key in open position that the windows would open too
