Open circuit
« on: 09 February 2012, 16:07:37 »
Car runs fine.When I stop low beeping from warning relay.Key in 0 position.Take the key out beeping stops but noticed electric windows now work with ignition off.Could this be the ignition switch leaving an open circuit? Any advice appreciated.

What year/spec motor mate?

On my 98 Elite this is a feature to warn you keys still in ignition (like if you leave your lights on).  Elec windows will continue to operate for a fixed period of time. HTH  :y

02 2.2 CD. The low beeping is nowhere nearly as loud as the one you get if you open the door with the keys in the ignition.(only started a few weeks ago).Already checked for damp and changed the warning relay.

Pretty sure my windows stay live till I open a door  :-\ :-\  Power definitely goes off when a door  is opened though.  ;)

Too wet & dark to go and check.  ;) ;)

Bleeping could be the Ing. Barrel inst coming (popping) out enough when you take the keys out, give it some encouragement next time you take the keys out.
