shoeguy Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Has anyone had this this issue previously. For no apparent reason the windows will just all roll down together without the car being on , or without any electrical being used. I will have all windows up when exiting the car, lock the car using my remote, and when I go to the car after either overnight , or just a few hours all the windows will be down. This is very random with no rhyme or particular circumstance to occur. It has happened 3 or 4 times in the last month. Any ideas what is causing this? I will make an appointment to bring it in next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmos36 Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 One of the many features of the key fob is remote opening-closing of the vehicle's windows. It would appear that something either in the remote or the vehicle has gone awry and is triggering a command to open the windows. I learned of this function by happenstance early in my ownership when dining with an acquaintance who noted that the windows of my MKX parked within sight were intermittently open-closing. The issue was traced to the remote in my cargo pants pocket being pressed against a table leg which activated the open-close door lock remote buttons for periods long enough (3 seconds or more) to lower-raise the windows. If your remote is secure when you leave the vehicle, i.e. no physical contact with the door lock-unlock remote buttons, then the issue you're experiencing must be related to either the circuitry of the remote or the vehicle.

Cosmos36 Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 shoeguy...were you (or the dealer) ever able to resolve the mystery of the runaway window openings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoeguy Posted March 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Hey Cosmos. Both the dealer and I have not ever been able to figure it out. Funny is that it did occur as well one day when I was at the dealer for an oil change, as they wondered who left the windows down in the middle of the winter. They have checked all electrical etc, they could not figure it out. The Lincoln service advisor that I have dealt with for years is just calling it a weird phantom glitch. Thet do not even have a clue where to look further. Happened again the other day on my driveway. My next door neighbor came over at 9 at night , to tell me my windows were down.

Cosmos36 Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 That's a really disappointing report since I was expecting an outcome similar to my one-time experience with the fob. Based on a lifetime of a few electrical gremlins in my vehicles, I can attest to the extremely exasperating/expensive issues that electrical glitches can be. Here's hoping for the gremlin to disappear or an ah-ha moment to surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
