P.S is a 2001 s type

My reply may sound like a cop out, but I would take it to a dealer. It sounds like it could be a couple of things. I've learned that these cars have some very sophisticated control modules. The battery may be going bad, the alarm could be acting up, or one of the modules is bad or confused. The wheel moving up and down sounds like a confused module since it is designed to move as a reaction to turning the car off and on. I hope you get it sorted soon...

 

Sometimes a little common sense is in order. Your vehicle was functioning fine until some ******** broke out your rear window. That in itself did not appear to cause your problems but it would appear, according to your post, that the symptoms appeared after the new window was installed. That installation is prolly what is causing your problems.

That window may have an overlooked sensor not connected and/or the defrost connections done incorrectly. I would bet on the window replacement and start there. I now defer to the experts...

 

yeah thats what i think is the cause of the problm,,, the glass replacement =//

 

how long did you disconnect the battery for. I had some 'gremlins' like lights staying inside, alarm not working, etc that was cleared with a long battery discon, or a hard reset (brutal's touch the negative to the positive terminal briefly procedure)

IF the window is not the cause, try a hard reset.

 

The maximum the battery was disconnected was 3 hours.... can you give me more details about hard reseting plzzz ill aprecciate that thanks =)

 

As brutal would put it, simply remove the negative cable, and touch it to the positive one briefly (while it's still connected). This will discharge ALL capacitors and anything stored in memory on the car. It wouldn't hurt to try it...as it's free.

 

Hey make sure when your turning the vehicle off that switching it off all the way to the left hard. On some older s type the ignition can stay on or off or in between causing ignition turn on and keep things working and setting off ur alarm. The barre and switch wear out overtimes . Try hard to the left while turning it off and see what happens .

 

thanks!!!
