Qubo Postman Pat

[VINDICATRIX]

[The problem I have with my Qubo is that from time to time it unlocks itself and the front side windows come down with the ignition off, this first happened to me in April of 2011 when it had been standing in heavy rain, and again three weeks later in the rain.
I took to my local Fiat Dealership and they ran water over it for a long time they said, and could not reproduce this fault and I went away none the wiser and worried because of the security issue.
Since that time the car has done this in all weather conditions sunshine and showers and at random times.
I have been on to Fiat UK about this and Hay Ho they said take it back to the Dealership for them to pursue it through Fiats technical department why I could not when I phoned Fiat I do not know.
The car was a year old when I bought it and I bought it from another Fiat Dealership not my local one where I took when I first had the fault.
I just wondered if anyone else had come across this fault and where I could go from here. IIZE="2"][/SIZE]

I've had similar with a water-damaged PCB,

did the garage actually investigate the potential damage ,

or just pour more water over it to see if they could make it happen

Happened to me too a couple of times. Assume you know if you press and hold the unlock button the windows open. In my case he remote was getting squashed in my pocket.

Hi Postman Pat,

Now I've found your problem......yippee.

I'm the same as Mario99uk, it happens to me often, always after I have locked the car & walked away.........then 'presto' the button on the key gets caught in my pocket, or when I'm hanging it up I catch it. Either way the car unlocks, and windows do there thing..........

Try and be 'Extra' careful for a few days/week, and see if thats the real problem.

Take care, Qube O.
