Yeah, so yesterday when I was leaving my class I start up my car and all my windows would go down except my driver side and then my car almost stalled then the lights during almost stalling and then my driver side window worked... almost it's been stalling like randomly like once every week or so lately... any ideas? everything is up to date on maintenance...

bump, don't anybody know?

[00SlvrStang]

Def not the alternator, that would drain your battery

[00SlvrStang]

I would say you have two seperate problems. Your window switch should have nothing to do with the car stalling.

That's an interesting one. I think I have a short somewhere because when I put a fuse in the slot for the AC/rear defrost it blows immediately.

yeah if it blows immediately it's a direct short

[00SlvrStang]

what are you doing when it stalls? engine at idle? coming to a stop? tranny in gear or out?

[Garhfer]

well, I just got out of class when it happened, I started up the car and then tried to put down the windows and the driver's side window wouldn't work but all the others would, and then the lights dimmed and it almost stalled... and it wasn't in gear or anything... after it almost stalled the driver's side window worked... was weird...

[00SlvrStang]

the way you just described that sounds like the power window motor was draining all of your electrical power. its possible that could have caused your engine to almost stall

Does that mean it's becoming faulty? It's the first time it's ever done it, but it'll dim all the lights in my car when I use it since I've had it...

[00SlvrStang]

they usually will dim the lights some, but they shouldn't cause your engine to almost stall. i wouldn't think your window motor is already going bad but it is possible. do you use them a lot? do you have udp's?

No but I have a supercharger... and yeah I use them a lot... unless it's really hot.

[00SlvrStang]

did it make any odd noises when the windows wouldn't go down? humming or anything?

The supercharger? I don't think so... it's always got it's loud noises it makes lol...

[00SlvrStang]

no the power window motor

Oh, no it didn't make any noise like it wasn't working at all

[00SlvrStang]

the window could have been binding. but thats not common with a vehicle that is so new. you could take off your door panel and inspect everything, make sure everything is still attached securely.

It all works fine it just did it that one time doesn't even make a sound when used since then either... I dunno it's just weird...
