Weird Intermittent Electrical Problem - 2010 WK
This started happening intermittently about a week ago. About a week ago the front windows would not roll down, but the rear ones would. When I opened and closed the door then they worked again.
This happened twice, but then on Saturday things got weird. This front window issue happened again where only the rear windows responded, not the front ones and I also noticed the power locks for all doors didn't work. I put the car in park and opened the driver side door (car still running) and the radio shutoff, closed the door and it comes back on again. Also, when I opened the door the RPM needle started bouncing up and down between 0 and the actual idling rpm. The car was actually idling fine, but the needs was bouncing. I shut the car off and on again repeatedly for 10 minutes or so and the issues remained. And then everything started behaving normally again.
Battery is only a few months old.
Does anyone have any idea what the heck is going on?
Thanks
