Power Window with a mind of its own wants to open by itself - 89 900 Aero/SPG
This is the driver's window. It has a one-touch down feature. It keeps
on opening by itself. When I use the switch to close the window, it
will sometimes stay closed, but usually wants to open again. Maybe 10
to 100 times. Sometimes it's OK for a few minutes or hours or days or
even a month or two. Then it starts to assert itself again. It seems
to do it more often in warm weather.
I've had the switch cleaned when I've been in for a service and once
it seemed to improve things. Other times it seems to have made no
difference.
Any ideas?
Regards,
Richard.

In article <com>,
com.au says...
The car is getting warm inside, and wants to cool itself.
But on a more serious not, good luck with the switches, I've heard that
once removed they can be cleaned and will work again.

Do check/clean the switch.
Also I am not sure if there are one or two relays involved--there
could be an operating relay and a latching relay that holds the
circuit closefd until it, the window, is full travel. The relay(s) may
be sticking.. I do not believe that the load is swithched directly by
the switch in the panel.

It's either the switch, a short in the wiring between the switch
and the motor, or demonic posession. My money's on the switch.

Re; Grunff on the window control
If it is the switch without any relays, how is the "Full Down" feature
accomplished?

The switch isn't just a switch - it's a switch/relay pack. So
yes, it is done with a realy, but it's in the same housing as
the switch.
