Two times in as many weeks, I returned to my parked car to find all windows and sunroof open. They were absolutely closed and locked when I left the car.

I thought the Jag gremlins were playing a Halloween trick on me!

Any ideas???

 

Did you happen to have the FOB in your pocket and the unlock button pressed by chance while still in range? Just a thought.

No I am sure that did not happen. Any other ideas?

 

It's by far the most likely, even if you didn't realise it had happened.

 

I just had this happen today. Came out of the house and all windows were down and the sunroof open. (Naturally, it rained last night.) This afternoon at work I opened the windows to let the car dry out for a few hours, and when I came out the right rear window was down. I figured the first time was caused by accidentally leaning on the button, but this afternoon the fob was sitting on my desk when it happened. I'm thinking the first suspect isx a weak battery, then I guess I'll look for trouble codes with the WDS.

 

Mine hasn't happened since my initial post. I think what probably happened was my unlock button was unresponsive and I might have pressed it several times or held it a bit too long, triggering global opening. We'll see what happens on the next Halloween ha!

Sorry to hear about your kitty getting soaked in rain water... hope there's no bad after-effect.




Over the weekend, I soaked my seats in leather cleaner/conditioner for an hour, now they're soft and smell like new.

I used WDS to disable the global open since I never use it. I left the global close enabled. Hopefully I won't have a repeat of the problem.

 

how do you do the global close?

 

Hold down the lock button on the fob for a couple of seconds. This is disabled by default in the US, but you can enable it with WDS/IDS/SDD. I almost never use it though. In fact, I try to never roll down my windows when I'm moving because the headliner is saggy enough now.
