That sounds to me like you just need to calibrate the window(s). Try holding window switch down and hold for 2 sec after it goes all the way down repeat for up this should solve the problem.
Do you have the shaker 500 or shaker 1000 system in your car?
This issue has been brought up before here on StangNet. I think that the problem might be that the amps for the subs for the shaker 500 or 1000 are staying on after you turn the car off. How to fix this problem, I don't know. Somebody that is more knowledgeable on this subject might be able to chime in pretty soon though.
I have had this problem since I retired. The car is not used daily and not at all in the winter. I think the drain is from the front amp(shaker 500). I pulled the radio fuse and the next day my charger was drawing about 2 amps, to charge the battery shown on the meter. Then I put back the radio fuse and pulled the front amp fuse ( under the hood #16 fuse ). The charger showed almost no draw. The battery stayed fully charged. I am not sure what to do with this bad amp. Looking into getting it replaced along with the Shaker 500 cd/radio.I don't buy the K.A.M. or the Shaker AMPs explanations. There are many cars that have those same features that never have these issues. The only unique thing these S197s are known for is the extreme under hood temps. Batterys do not like high temps and I think we are seeing a by product of that.
Anyone care to calculate how much current draw the KAM would need to pull to down a fully charged battery over a 5 day span?
I need your help...I own a 2005 GT going on two years the end of this month. Just last week it started up with somthing draining my car's battery power? This has never happend before first time? This car is not my daily driver so most of the time it will sit in the garage for three to four days before I decide to take it for a spin...it has always started right up before unitl last week. I go to use the key less entry to unlock the door and it doesn't work no battery power to even unlock the door. How many of you have run into this problem with your 2005 mustangs? What have you discovered the problem is?
Thank You,
Carolyn
I removed fuse#16 from under the hood. It takes out the front amp from the mid range speaker. Problem fixed and the sound is hardly any different. A car that starts all the time, yeah!!!!!!I have had this problem since I retired. The car is not used daily and not at all in the winter. I think the drain is from the front amp(shaker 500).
