Key fob causes windows to go down when within 5-6' of truck

[sfritts]

A 2010 truck when one of the key fob is within 5-6' of the truck the windows start rolling down when the unlocking truck doors. The other key fob works the way it is supposed to. Has any one had this issue with this and if you did how did you get it fixed?

One of the functions that can be done with the key fob is to roll down the windows. I works by first use the fab to unlock the doors then press and hold the fob unlock button again till the front windows go down as far as wanted. Using this as a guide it sounds like the one fob is sticking. You might be able to take it apart and see if there is anything causing it to stick. If not it will need to be replaced. If you Don't have remote start on you truck the factory remote start can be added for just a little more then replacing one key.

Really, I've never heard of that feature. Now I have to go out to my truck and try it! That is assuming that this would apply to a 2014 with the keyless entry system.
Good to know.

Does that really work!? Will the lock button roll up the windows? Dying to try it...

 

[Bob V]

Won't roll them up, just down

Doesn't work on my 2014.

Doesn't work on my 2014.

Doesn't work on my 2014 either. I was super excited thinking about this. I wonder if it has to be configured first?

This is copied from the 2011 owners manual
Remote Open Window Feature — If Equipped
This feature allows you to remotely lower both front door
windows at the same time. To use this feature, press and
release the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter and
then immediately press and hold the UNLOCK button
until the windows lower to the level desired or until they
lower completely.

Finally did away with it. If you had remote start and stuck buttons you could roll them down from inside the house/store/mall etc. Never could convince some people it was them doing it, they always thought someone else or the car was. We have had rolling code encryption for years and it is next to impossible for someone else to use their fob to open your car or roll your windows down.

Not on my 2013 Tradesman. As cheaply made as those fobs are, I wouldn't want that feature.

I had a mitsubishi that had a nice feature. If I accidentally unlocked the doors, but didn't open the doors within 5 mins, it would automatically relock everything.

When I had my 2010, I would have to take the fob apart and blow out the pocket fuzz periodically.
