All Windows Down Whilst Car Is Locked

[Weimster]

I'm beginning to think my 08 plate Galaxy is haunted, or is on its way out!!

 

After the fuel cap locked itself the other day and now works just fine. I went out to the car this morning to find it still locked BUT all four windows had opened fully!??! I unlocked the car and put the keys in the ignition and all the windows went back up fine and SO FAR it hasn't happened again, but clearly I am extremely concerned it will happen again. Has anyone heard of this issue before?

well it could be simple as youve had the keys in your pocket and activated your global opening/closing.iirc if any of the doors are not open it will relock it self??????????

might be worth trying this to see?

Thanks for digging this information out. I wonder how exactly it works because I can't find out how the key actually does this. Oh well, so far it hasn't happened since, good job considering we are in a monsoon season. lol

If you press and hold the unlock button for 3 secs the window go down, and if you lock and press for 3 secs the windows will go up. So would be easy to set off if like me you have everything including the kitchen sink in your pocket! :ph34r:
