Mtman Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 2009 Dodge Journey - After having driven to a parking spot, making sure all 4 power windows are closed, and using the key FOB to lock the vehicle, when returning later several times have noticed the driver and passenger windows partly down (about 3 inches). This is happening intermittently all by themselves. Thought wife was accidentally bumping the window controls when she leaves the car, but no. She's been careful to check. Everything else works fine. Just scary and weird the windows part open by themselves - unattended. The driver's passenger window control lock has been up, meaning any passenger can control their window from the inside. (We don't have passengers, so no one fiddling with the controls.) So tonight I set the passenger power window control to off (down) to try this the next few days. Question: Is anyone else experience mystery window openings? What could this be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUGS Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Now this is a strange problem. Not heard of before by me although I have heard the RKE can be programmed to ensure the windows are 'up' when locked by the RKE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malnik Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Dont forget when you hold the open button for a little longer than normal the front windows both open. Perhaps you hold it for too long? Just a thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larryl Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 When you go to unlock the vehicle if you hit the unlock button twice- hold- the windows will lower until you release the fob button or until they are all the way down-a nice feature really especially on hot days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtman Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 You folks are brilliant! Thank you / thank you. You're absolutely right. Tried it. One FOB click and it unlocks the driver's door. Two open clicks on the FOB and the other doors unlock (which my wife does to open the rear door for her briefcase) ... AND if you "hold" FOB button during the 2nd unlock click .... Yup ... windows open. Amazing. Isn't this what software people call an "undocumented" feature? My car doesn't have ghosts after all. Too bizarre. I really do appreciate the replies! Mystery solved. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malnik Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Its in the book somewhere...thats where i saw it. I'm using this feature to confuse my wife and see if i can get her certified and moved to a mental asylum. So if we could keep this little thing to ourselves it would be good.......
