Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Came out to the garage in the summer to get the 996 C2 MY2002 out and noticed windows open. Strange, must have left them open I thought. Didn't think much more of it until this week. Drove off to work early Monday morning and after a mile both windows auto wound down. I had to wait til they'd fully lowered before they'd go up again. Another 5 miles later they dropped down again. What!? Then no problems the rest of the week and I drive about 30-50 miles per day. However, came out of work this evening and both windows open!!!! Anyone suffered similar?

POST 2Original post

sounds like an alarm ecu fault to me . take it to an indy or dealer to stick it on diag machine..

POST 3Original post

My husband had a similar fault on his Audi A4 but it was the sunroof which opened by itself. It turned out he needed a new harness. Hope it isn't the same for you!

POST 4Original post

Just sorted out a similar problem, but in reverse. Anything open (i.e. windows or roof) would suddenly close without warning. The problem became so acute that eventually whatever was open would close almost immediately it had been opened. Annoyingly the problem was not consistent which made it difficult to diagnose because invariably it wouldn't manifest itself when required. After a great amount of head scratching in the end it was fixed which involved a new alarm control unit (plus key fobs) and two new window motors.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
