E30 windows stay live all the time?

[E30SPORTMAD]

Hi does anyone have any ideas why the electric windows would be staying live all the time once the car is parked up with no key? Would it be down to broken wires in the door loom for the interior light? had a car before and that was the problem cause once the door opens the windows became live, any help would be great thanks

Maybe a previous owner messed with the wiring.

Do they still work with the key out of the ignition?

Yep they stay lit at the switch and they work up and down as normal with no key?

Sounds normal to me. Do they work/stay lit with doors shut?

[E30SPORTMAD]

Yep stay lit all the time even when the car is locked it drains the battery if car is left for long time,it isn't right there is a problem somewhere

Could this be a 'comfort' relay problem?
