    Hey there. I've been having troubles with my power windows lately. Every now and then none of the windows will work at all, and then 5 minutes later they'll be fine. I have noticed that some of the window controls (between the front two seats) have been getting a bit stuck lately.

    Also, is it strange that when I hold down all 4 windows controls at once (either up or down), the windows go up (or down) at different speeds? Is this a sign of them just being old and worn out, or can I fix this?

    Thanks a lot guys for any tips.

    i can suggest cleaning the inside of your switches. Taking them completely apart and cleaning the gold plate things, and also the goldterminals that it makes contact with when the switch is pressed either way. I did in mine after finding that mine wer filthy, and I haven't had any problems again yet :).

    also it could be that wit the speed of them all going up at the same time that it might be that you have a different amount of power going to the motors could be the relay or just how it is set up
