Hi all
Last winter, when it got particularly cold overnight the next morning the car would ask me to drop the right rear window and put it back up again. Most of the time I couldn't as it was iced up so cleared the message and just did it the next time I started up. I put this down to the cold affecting the battery given when you remove the battery you have to do all the windows.
Over the last couple of weeks however, I've started to see a lot more of this message on the DIC and if you clear it it just pops up straight away again. If I try and use the driver controls to drop the right rear window or the switch on the door itself it doesn't do anything so presumably hasn't got power. This lasted for a couple of minutes after which I would be able to drop the window and clear the message.
Earlier this week I had a new addition to the problem - the car started complaining about the right rear door being open as well as moaning about the window. This only lasted a minute or so.
Finally today I had the window message and the door open message and it didn't clear for at least 10 minutes. The door open part is most annoying as you get the bleeping, although just the window message constantly flashing up on the DIC is distracting.
The errors don't crop up every time - it tends to be when the car has been left overnight.
So, my thinking is that the door wiring harness is loose at one end and this is why the window has no power, the computer wants the window position learning done again and it must default to thinking the door is open if it loses contact with the switch.
Does anyone have any other ideas, ever come across this before or have any guidance on which end of the harness it is likely to be how to get to it?
Thanks!
