It happens surprisingly often that my rear window gets accidentally rolled down from the remote. This usually happens at home and I think the button gets pressed by accident when the keys are in my pocket or in my wife's purse. On at least 3 occasions the window has unintentionally been left open all night in the rain. Since I don't use this feature that often, does anyone know how I can disable it?

 

take it a part and put a tape over the circuit that triggers it? I've never taken mine apart but I'd assume this is a simple process?

 

yea i did this last night for the 1st time. walked up in terror to find my trucks window down. luckily nothing happened (no rain, theft, etc)... but next time who knows...

 

On my 96 there is a rear window lock that prevents the window from going up and down with the switch...does your '01 still have that button?

 

Apparently this is a programming bug. Just posting for anyone else that google's this problem.
