Windows going down by themselves??
 

Hey Guys,

Ok this has happened to me a few times last year, and now it happened last night. It seems to happen after I wash my car and put it in the garage. I pull it in, close up the windows and go inside. I come out in the morning and both windows are all the way down?!?! Any suggestions on this? Its very strange, could the Key Remote do this by being pressed in my pocket by accident some how? Maybe my house is haunted lol...

I know if you hold unlock on the key the Windows go down ( well that's how it was with my speed6) but I believe I read that this car has the same feature !

Hauntings will increase day by day until midnight oct. 31 when all hell will break loose and your Z will transform into a row beast in your garage and terrorize you and anyone associated with you! BEWARE of the ghoul!! Muhahahaahaha! Muuuhahaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!
Ok seriously, reposition your keys in your pocket. Some fobs are sensative and open the windows for nothing. You might want to consider some type of fob cover to prevent depressing the button. :)

The fob is pretty sensitive in my pocket, especially when I'm washing the car for some reason (guess it's just all the extra movements). There have been several times where I surprised myself by accidentally hitting the panic button on the fob while it was in my pocket. If you were carrying buckets or equipment it's possible they could have rested against your pocket where you have the fob, and it could cause the windows to go down.

Yep!

Ok good. I was afraid a Ghoulie was going to pop out of the toilet and get me lol.

So the FOB does that by holding the unlock button. good to know, solves the mystery hahaha. Thanks again guys...

Typically it does it in the middle of rain storms, so be warned. Keep the car in the garage :)

this has been discussed in length before, are you pressing the buttons down without knowing making your windows go down? (ie, in your pocket pressing againts other items)

this is why i place my fob out of my pocket as soon as i get home. :)

Yea apparently I am...

Ok so my next question is, why dont they go up with the fob? I mean I cant really see any reason to put the windows down using it, but I can see wanting to put them up due to rain or other things...

Safety feature regulated by Law. They can go down remotely without causing harm to anyone but by law they cannot go back up unless actuated by a switch that is in the vicinity of what's being opened closed. It's the same reason that window switchs in cars now are designed so that if something lays on them the window will only go down but you have to physically lift the switch or pull on it for them to go up.

U gotta stop wearing those skinny emo jeans :tup:

:roflpuke2::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

there was at some point a company out there that made a module for the 350 that allowed you to put the windows up with the remote.

I have a Vert with the SmartTop module and it lets me roll down/up the windows as well as the top using the factory fob. Second favorite mod on the car...

lol one time i was washing my car window and the window starting to roll down on its own... i freaked out... lol i had a lanyard in my neck and while i was washing the window my arm was pressing the unlock button =)...
i was just happy that i wasnt spraying water =)

OK, so now my windows have done this twice... Go outside to find them completely down, uugghh!!

The fob resides on my desk while at home, not ever inside my pocket, so no chance that it's being mistakenly depressed. WTF?!?!

Now I'm paranoid...

Opening windows
The UNLOCK button operation also allows
you to open a window that is equipped with the
automatic open/close function. (See “POWER
WINDOWS” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.)
To open the window, push the door UNLOCK
button*2 on the Intelligent Key for about
3 seconds after the door is unlocked.

Do you have kids?

A 25 year old daughter that lives 700 miles away... ;-P

Seriously though, I've had vehicles with key fobs for years and never had an issue where I've accidentally engaged the buttons at all. Wondering if the key fob for my other vehicle parked next to the Z is somehow triggering the windows.

Sorry had to ask :) Young kids love pushing buttons.

Could be a possible interference issue of some sort is possible I suppose. But given that it is supposed to be a encrypted signal I don't think spurious interference should do anything. It is possible that the fob itself is defective and is detecting that the button is held when it is really just sitting there. If you have 2 fobs try leaving the battery out of one of them for a while and see what happens.

Here's your answer

I have had the same thing happen about 5 times since i got it in august. I normally always just hang the key up when i get home, keep wondering if there was some way i pressed it but cant think of when it would have been. This morning i went out and the windows were both down. I've reset them numberous times...wondering whats causing it. Thankfully its only happened while in my garage and not parked in the parking garage at work or outside.

You can also use the actual key to lower and raise the windows. Just insert the key on the hole, turn one way to lower and the other way to raise the windows.

I had this happen when it was raining and had to drive to work with a wet butt. I went to the dealership and had them turn this feature off. I don't even understand why it was an option in the first place.

It's pretty standard on most Nissan/Infiniti models, it's a great way to vent your windows in the summer. I've never have had them go down accidentally, the panic alarm though that's a completely different story lol.

It's good to know that the feature can be turned off.

I have played with this and you can make the windows go down a little or all the way.

My panic goes off usually when I am working on the car usually under the front right next to the horn with the fob in my pocket.

I wonder if you press and hold all three buttons if the car explodes!

windows going down while car is parked
 

I purchased a 2010 370 Z Roadster this past December and twice while the car is sitting on the parking lot at work both windows have fully opened. Someone came in and said did you leave your windows down on purpose. Has anyone else had this problem?

You are pressing (and holding) the unlock button on the fob. Probably when you sit down with the fob in your pocket.

This happened to me for the first time during the night last night, Came out this AM and both windows were all the way down.

My question is this: If I accidentally pressed the door unluck button on the fob, making the windows go down, why were the doors still locked?

The doors relock in one minute

I wear pocket t-shirts, usually under a regular shirt. I keep my fob in the t-shirt pocket because of this problem. When I kept it in my pants pocket like previous keys I found I was accidentally pressing the button and lowering the windows. Hasn't happened since I moved my fob to my shirt pocket.

Yes it happened to me a while back.....And it had rained overnight....

Not so good for leather interiors... Lucky they only went down 2 inches and not all the way..

So now the key fob sits on the counter and NEVER in my pocket....

Its happened to me twice now. The first time I came out and found the windows rolled down. The second time it definately wasn't pushing any buttons on the fob (living alone, no pets, fob sitting on a table inside well away from the car). It was pretty strange, I was about 1/2 way through planting a flowerbed along the driveway when I hear some motors start running behind me. I turned around and watched both the windows roll down. It was pretty annoying because I had to get cleaned up because the windows wouldnt roll up again unless I had the fob on me and the ingnition in the run mode.

Of course, it isn't repeatable so no troubleshooting : (
