hi, Do all Series Four and/or five allow the power windows to work for a few seconds after the ignition has been turned off.

If so is there a relay for this?

Because the wiring diagram in the manual i have does not show a relay, allowing for a time delay.

Please help.

They are wired just like in the manual.
Simple mechanical switch, no electronics or relays.

There is no delay in power to the window switches. You turn the key off the windows stop working.

If you wanted something with a delay you would need to wire a timer to do that.

I just happen to think - a turbo timer - while running the motor with the key off, would also hold on the window circuit.

even simpler would be a DEI 528T timer. It is adjustable for 0-90 seconds, so you could have a 90 second delay that would still let you run the drivers switch. All the wiring would be done in the drivers kick panel.

I have had two series fours and both had a delay for the windows once key was turned to off. But they both did/do have turbo timers.

Could the turbo timer be the problem.

A turbo timer will keep the igntion circuit active after the switch is turned off... so if the ignition cicuit is still active, so are the windows.

this is becoming a real problem. I removed the turbo timer and the windows still only work for a minute (roughly) before they stop going either up or down.

You are really clear on what you are asking... do you want that feature or not???

The stock power window controls on a FC should not work if the key is not on.. if they are something aftermarket has been added.

My power windows remain operative for ~60sec after the ignition is turned off. The US wiring diagrams don't show anything that would make this possible, so I guess it's a Japanese market thing. It's pretty handy. Are you all jealous?
