In the past week, I have come out to my MINI and found the driver's window rolled down about 2-3 inches on a couple occasions.

I know they were rolled up, but today I have found that the morning thunder storms have soaked my interior! Argh!

Anyone elso have this happen?

 

I’ve read a few posts over the years about a few but never heard what the fix was. Try resetting the auto drop on the window and see if it helps.

Turn the ignition on to the ACC mode and hold both window switches in the up position 10 seconds each and it should reset the windows.

Let me know if it helps.

I think I have enough water inside my MINI as it is!

 

I was having that problem. I took it into the dealer and they rest the motors with the ACC and the hold the toggles up method.

 

I had the same thing happen to my 03 MCS. I had just driven through a big rain storm. Parked it on slight incline overnight. Came back the next morning and both windows had lowered about 3 inches. And it had also rained again. What a mess. Did the reset 10 sec reset. Seem to fix it. Then Six months later, the driver side door started going up and down about a inch repeatly will I was driving. Reset the windows again. And then took it to the dealer. They worked on the driver side door and reprogramed stuff(no charge) and no problems since. Curiuous, did you park yours on an incline?

 

Thanks for the great and useful replies, but I do not know what the "ACC Mode" is?

does that just mean turning the key but not starting the engine: the position where electrical power is on but not the engine?

As a result of the soaking, the buttons on the left side of my steering wheel stopped working. The cruise control light flashed and the stereo controls did not work

I turned on the heat full blast and closed all of the vents except for the one I could aim at the left side of the steering wheel. After 30 minutes, this dried out the switches and everything is working just fine.

Also, it seems that a soda must have spilled behind my driver's seat at some time because my mop rags have turned a dark coca-cola color! Yuk!

And yes, my driveway is on a slight incline, but I do park in a position where I am almost level. . . .

 

If the seats are cloth; soak with club soda, a panel at a time,
to the seams. Pour it on your hand and work into the fabric.
Cover the spot with a white towel and allow it to soak for two
hours. Should remove the stain. I have tried this three times on
my grey space cloth seats and it works great, cheap too.

 

I have had this problem before it became so bad that on the way to the dealer it would open all the windows and the sunroof about every five minutes. The fix was to recode the BC1 computer has not happened since and that was about 4 months ago.

 

Yes Andrew ACC mode is where the ignition power is on, but the engine is not.

 

Sounds like that guy Lucas came to visit you... Sorry to hear your inside got yucky....

As to the resetting,ignition turned to ACC,roll windows down,pause a second or so,then roll up and hold for 10 seconds or so.Have not had to do this,but I read it somewhere on NAM.

 

I have found that it was user error on my part. I kept holding the unlock button of the FOB, which will lower your windows and open your sunroof.

 

It sounds like the "lucas module" is getting a false reading from your odometer,it shouldn't be tripped till 50k. (the dealership denies that it exists. What does that tell you?)

 

This is the only Lucas that ever gets in my car. . . but now I am beginning to suspect that you might be right namwob!

 

Jeez, I'll bet he is a lab dog at that. If you throw your pants anywhere he can lie on them (read key fob) I'll still take credit for being right

 

I have to load this in the hatch every day

 

Ruby's not very modest

On my 03 MINI, I had the same thing happen several times. I just figured I had hit the key but now I'm beginning to wonder I have never had it happen on my 05 yet

No she thinks she is from downtown

 

Just an additional FYI

ACC mode = Accessory mode

ACC for short. (it used to say that above the appropriate position on the ignition keyhole on most cars)
