jmurray01 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 When the engine is idling in the 1997 Ford Fiesta 1.25 Ghia (74,000 miles on the clock if that matters), and I close both electric front windows at the same time, the engine goes down from 950RPM, to 550RPM, and almost stalls. However after about 1 second, it goes back up to normal idle. It is even worse if I press "close" on both electric window buttons when they are already closed. Am I right in saying this may be a weak electric window fuse taking too much power from the battery causing the engine to almost die ?

Parkesie Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Stiff window runners get in there and clean them up and lube them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstructorPiggy Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 yeah as above...could be a weak battery or your alternator is starting to struggle. Get it tested for charging and the battery tested too...a lot of places will do this for your for free. Its not a fuse just to clarify, Piggy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
