Not your normal power window problem.....

strange new problem. when i use the one touch roll-up function of my driver's side window, it rolls all the way up, then proceeds to roll halfway down (like if you unlatched the convertible top). it also does this when i roll it up with the key. if i time it right, i can roll it all the way up & release the switch and it will stay up, BUT, then it won't drop the normal 1/2" or so when i open the door. the passenger side works normally. has anyone ever experienced this? any ideas here? haven't had a chance to dig into it yet.

Try re-training the windows. Hold the button down until the window goes down all the way - hold in final position for 10 seconds. Then do the same for the up motion.

Another window problem? LOL

I might have an idea,,, since it's not dropping half an inch like u mentioned it probably is not the micro switch. Seems to me window motor is getting a comfort open call when it's not necessary. A couple of ways I would approach: disconnect #5 terminal(comfort open contact) on the motor side first possibly 6,7 then see what happens. Also your connectors might be shorted,switch can be sticking - cuz its definitely calling a signal to your motor somehow when u don't want to

Mine 01 did the same thing the other day. It started a few days after my wife opened the door while we were driving.

What I did was make sure the window went all the way up and stayed up for a few minutes, then I pulled the handle just enough to trigger it to drop an inch (door still closed), and then released the handle - window went back up.

It hasn't done it again since (fingers crossed).

thanks for the replies, guys. juniic - you're probably right that there's a short to ground somewhere in the motor mechanism. i actually have an extra lying around from a 996 cab; i'll swap it in to see if the problem goes away. FYI, the only difference between the motors is that the 996 cab motor will drop the window all the way when you unhinge the convertible top latch.

I'm hoping that I am ;) theory is something like that but probably not shorted to ground. If it was your window should not be working at all just because of the fact that any hot leg(12V/+) touching the ground, fuse should be blown immediately. I'm thinking more likely, its your hot legs getting shorted or motor itself,,, let us know what happens !
