i have seen people post about being able/not able to roll up their windows with their key, but i havent seen any about being able to turn the key to the locked position and then taking it out and still having the windows roll up. is this an electrical problem or is it just another feature that i havent read about yet? |  |  | | 06-29-2005, 04:31 AM | #2 | | Senior Member Join Date: May 2005 Location: Pismo Beach, CA Posts: 500 |
I have to keep the key turned for as long as I want my windows to roll up. As soon as I stop turning the key, the windows stop going up __________________

i can do that also, but sometimes if i hold it in the locked position for a certain amount of time and then take it out before the windows are even close to being rolled up. they keep on going automatically | | | | | 06-29-2005, 05:43 AM | #4 | | islander on the mainland Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: SF Bay Area Posts: 286 |
I'm able to remove my key and roll up/down the windows and open/close my top. So, long as I don't open a door, the power still works. I haven't checked to see how long it lasts, but definitely long enough to close the windows and my top after parking. __________________

Wow... I thought this was a standard feature. I can still roll my windows up and down with the key out as long as I do not open my door after turning the car off. Something that is really handy.
I have a '96 ti. | | | | | 06-30-2005, 12:05 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Detroit, MI Posts: 585 |
this is while your out of you car while your key is in the driver or passenger side door and turning it to the locked position. not inside the car. when im outside and i lock it all the windows will go up when im walking away with my keys in my hand. but that doesnt always work^^ | | | | | 06-30-2005, 12:28 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 677 |

I tried it on my 95 ti. It'll roll up as long as you have the key in the lock. I have no luck with it working with the sunroof. I definitely can't open the windows with the keys. It'll be great on those hot summer day, when you need to cool off the interior before getting in.
As for it closing all the way automatically, I don't know how to do that, but from my experiment I couldn't figure it out. | | | | | 06-30-2005, 03:32 AM | #10 | | islander on the mainland Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: SF Bay Area Posts: 286 |
Okay, so you're talking about outside of the car. For me, it only works if I have the key in the lock. Sometimes if the lock sticks while I'm removing the key, the windows will continue to go up, but regularly that doesn't happen. __________________

that makes me feel better. so it is more than likely that it just sticks. bc about 25 mins ago it just did it to me and i havent been able to replicate it. so hopefully no major problem? even though this is the simplest car to work on | | | | | 06-30-2005, 10:54 AM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Essex UK Posts: 164 |

Hmmm... misunderstood the question too... I will have to try this out on my car as I never knew it was an option. | | | | |
