Windows while starting car question...

Post by ak_mcv »

Been looking through some other posts about windows and faulty ignitions. I open my car, windows drop, close door windows go back up, when ever I put the key in the ingnition to start the car the windows on both sides give a blip down and up very quickly (just the once), I thought it was normal, but now starting to have doubts and the warranty is running out. What you think?

sounds like a faulty ignition switch, i had mine diagnosed just before the warranty expired, worth telling them your suspicion and mentioning its seems a common fault

It does sound like the ignition switch. It should'nt happen every time. Mines done it twice in 2 1/2 years and then it was when I was a bit feeble turning the key! Get it to the dealers before your warranty expires
