Vauxhall Astra window opens on its own even when car is off!!
Variant: bertone
Model Year: 2003

Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hi im new here and looking for help with my 53 bertone.
on Sunday i came out to my car and the window was all the way down on my drivers side which was odd because the 3 people i was with and my self were certain that it was closed once i got home locked the car and went in doors and looked out the house to see it open again. the switch wont work to do it up but it closes when i use the key to lock then randomly opens. also when i have the door open and press and hold the window up switch it turns the stereo on and if its on tuner the clock comes on and makes the door open sound even though no keys are in the ignition
would greatly appreciate some help on this matter or to know if it has happened to anyone else. apologies if this is in the wrong forum and is a bit long winded
Regards
John

Neighbours Vauxhall did that with windows down in the morning and was caused by low battery .Battery replaced , car o.k since .You could try charging battery , worth a go .

That's an interesting fault ,it sounds like some thing is back feeding through a circuit causing this issue.if you can check all electrical items are working on the vehicle as intended you maybe able to narrow it down to a particular circuit and eliminate it by removing the fuse.Also do you know if your vehicle has global opening option ,This is some thing that's programmable in some vehicles ,not sure of yours you would need to check your hand book regarding this,let,s know how you get on .Best Regards.
