Exclamation Anyone else have problems with their windows after pushing the car too hard?

I had a problem last time i was at the track and wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem. After my first 4 laps I stopped in the pits and let the car cool down, when I tried to raise the windows the window motors for the left and right windows did not seem to work, no noise or anything they were not moving. I checked fuses etc and nothing was wrong. After 20 minutes I tried again and nothing so I went out for another 6 laps and mysteriously when I pulled into the pits again the windows worked like if nothing had happened. Weird….. Any one else experience this?? Could this be crappy factory wiring that may have shorted with flex?

Were there any other electrical symptoms? Weird issue. Maybe just a bad fuse.. They can look fine but still be flaky.

It cant be a fuse i checked them all and they seemed to be fine, after a few laps they worked again. Maybe the car was telling me to take it easy .

I have the same issue when the car gets too hot. It cools down, voila, windows roll up.

passenger seat belt must be on if you put electrical device on top of seat
idling problems while coming to stop
windows not working correctly
loose wiring http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9331
