Skezza 327 Report post Posted February 22, 2016 That is very peculiar. They're not live when the ignition is off. Do they operate from the switches when your key isn't in the ignition. It might be a malfunctioning CCM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyboy 0 Report post Posted February 23, 2016 Hi Skezza first of all thanks for trying to help. No the keys are not in the ignition when this occurs, I've removed the switches out of the driver side door and they've still opened, on one occasion I turned the side lights on and this opened the windows. I'm also having problems with the door locking mech so am going to get another door switch and lock assembly today to see if that helps. Not being used to these electronic type cars could you tell me what you mean by CCM. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skezza 327 Report post Posted February 23, 2016 Sorry mate, CCM is convenience control module. It basically handles all the central locking and electric Windows. They fail very very rarely in Lupos but it's possible I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lupogtiboy 150 Report post Posted February 23, 2016 My guess would be a faulty door lock or barrel, as the windows will open if you hold the key in the unlock position. If the paddle on the barrel is broken, it could be holding the door lock in the unlocked position, then the car will 'think' you are holding the barrel to open the windows. I have seen this happen on Polos before... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mobieus_uk 24 Report post Posted March 10, 2016 RCL is awsome, did mine the other day, highly recommened if you can do it, still got to tidy my wires up but so much easier than messing with the keys, ive got mine hooked into the windows as well so winds them up when the car is locked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the auto close feature. Some premium cars don't have that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whitesock 0 Report post Posted November 23 Did you resolve the problem? I've got the same issue, my arosa randomly unlock and open the windows. Thanks, Tiago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mk2 208 Report post Posted November 23 Check the door switches... water inside the switch contacts can cause wierd problems if you open the door when it's raining! Welcome to CL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whitesock 0 Report post Posted November 23 thank you. I will check. Does anyone know the color of the wire that controls the opening of windows by central locking. I could at least resolve that while I can't solve the problem Tiago Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
