View Full Version : Weird Issue with my 328i

When I roll down the windows in my car with the motor off and the key in the auxiliary position the radio shuts off when I am pushing the window button down or up. Once I release the button it magically works again. Very strange.

Anybody else experience this? I should note the battery is weak but it does start the car.

Thanks.

Sorry no idea on that one. Sounds like the 65 Ford Falcon I had as my first car. The horn wouldn't work unless I pushed in the clutch.

Well now the radio and OBC are working intermitently. What the hell could be going on? Battery issue or wiring issue? anyone?

Have the battery checked. The windows use a large amount of power and may be causing a droop in voltage causing the radio to drop out.

Also, run the car and watch the tach lights to see if they flicker when you use your windows or whatever. Could be a bad alternator too, not recharging the battery...
