C3 Picasso Front Electric Windows

Unread post by STCUK »

Hi all, front electric windows working fine except for one thing that doesn’t seem right.
Examples: I park the car, turn off engine, take out the key, put electric windows up, all great. But, if I get out the car with the keys and forget to close window after 20 seconds, I lean in, turn ignition on full, windows will not go up. I have to start the engine to put the window up. Your thoughts, as I know this is not correct !! Thank you

If the battery is not fully charged the car might have gone into ECO mode which stops some electrical things working until the engine is started again. See if the radio will switch on before starting the engine since this is usually turned off in ECO mode.

Great, thanks for that info. The battery was no good, so I’ve just replaced it yesterday and not tried window since. I’ll give it a go. Thanks again
