That sounds like one of my moves.

Sounds like me...after using then auto window down feature from the key fob the first few weeks....the passenger window would only go down a little over a quarter down...:shakes head:, but I was forgetting to press the unlock twice before attempting it. My nissan tech kindly said "so now one can say you learned something about your car":tiphat: though I don't think I'll ever need this safety feature....cool that it does it....just wish I wouldn't of looked :icon14: when I was asking the tech about it.

Why do we have this feature? To lock the driver out of window roll up? Passenger yes.

I have a wall switch in my house. I never use it as I use another switch that powers the other. Every few years some exterminator, cable guy, wife, etc throws the wall switch and I spend quite a bit of time figuring out what happened. When I remember finally :icon14: I get mad at myself for wasting all this time.

:icon18::roflpuke2: that's awesome!!! Im sure we've all.done something like that once or even twice before

Don't feel bad... I put my WRX in limp mode by not tightening the gas cap and freaked myself out. I almost went to the dealership but decided to check all the obvious first. When I opened the fuel door the cap fell out... Guess I didn't screw it on after getting gas, lol.

I swear I feel my heart sink anytime any kind of warning or indicator comes on in my Z. My wife knows this and occasionally barely pulls up on the e-brake when we are at a red light and then puts it back down right as I focus in on its indicator. I then go into "WTF WAS THAT!?!?!?" mode and start looking for a place to pull over. She usually stops me right away depending on how close we are to April 1st... Damn I love that woman.
:driving:

I did this on my Eclipse about 4 years into ownership. The only time I've ever used that button was on accident that one time.

On the Eclipse as well, I've had the check engine light come on just because I didn't click the fuel cap three clicks. It then stays on for days before going off, just long enough for you to worry about what might be wrong.

I love this, and it makes me giggle just thinking about it.

This is exactly why the IT guy always asks "Is it plugged in?" first....

That's why I tape those switches into their desired positions, so they don't accidentally get switched off. :tup:

It definitely is! Though, we still make mistakes ourselves.


I took my car in, because I wasn't getting the lock chime when pressing the button on the outside of the door. Turns out it was a loose fuse that I knocked loose swapping another that my license plate bulb/LED swap blew. :facepalm:

Took my car in to get a fuse pushed back in. :rofl2:

However, the dealership one-upped me, because they said they couldn't fix my SES light (turns out it may have been bad fuel), because the O2 sensor wire was lengthened by my when I installed my HFCs, which it was not (and I have about 4 witnesses that helped me install the damn exhaust). :rolleyes:

Add me to the embarrassed list. I was parked on a fire lane with the engine and hazard lights on. As I go to leave, I reach for the what I thought was the hazard light button but turned out to be the start button. Car turns off in drive and for a second I can't figure out how to restart it.


I blame early onset Alzheimer's.

This happened to me the first week i got my Z :shakes head:

Hahaa yeah a few years ago in my first 09 silver base model "first z" i saw that and freaked the **** out. But i grabbed my owners manual and saw it was just tire pressure "whew"
