vr6turbo 27 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 every time I unlock the car using the key fob the windows go down half waythis is annoying as before i repaired 3 of the window regulators only the drivers window came downi have contacted hawk alarms and they have saidquote from emailIt’s design fault of the car. This design fault only effected VW Golf 1992.can this be true as i think they had no alarm or immobiliser as standard, OBD1also is there a fix?This is how i understand whats going on.The alarm is telling the car to unlock, the car must think the key is being held in the unlock position so opens the windows as well as the doors.All this is controlled by the door microswitch ( drivers and passengers) and the signal goes to the window regulators, it the inbetween bit i cant fathom. I have a feeling ts all linked to the vacuum pump in the boot.any help appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I dont know the solution but over time there has been a fair few people on here, all AFAICR OBD1 older vintages, where they've had the same thing, they get a problem where they have come to their car and the windows were all down through seemingly no reason and started being a regular issue, might be worth having a hard search session.
