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

Yep they stay lit at the switch and they work up and down as normal with no key?diable wrote:Maybe a previous owner messed with the wiring.
Do they still work with the key out of the ignition?

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

Could this be a 'comfort' relay problem?
Schadenfreude - the German's haven't got a word for that.
