Today, about 15minutes into my drive my CEL came on, stopped by at a buddies and tried the ol' ON/OFF to see if it would blink the error code out, I have learned it doesn't.
But, When you go from OFF, to ON, and back to ACC to ON to ACC to ON, the Driver side window will automatically go down all the way on its own.
So thats ON x 3. It doesn't do it everytime, but about 4/5 times.
Anyone heard of such a thing?
I used the detach the negative battery cable to reset the ECU and all seems fine now, but it still does the window thing.

when I start my car first time in the morning the windshield wipers run twice. Only twice, always twice. And only the first start of the morning. But my car is also 37 years old.

I do have an alarm installed. Although It has been on the car since i bought it i have never gotten a chance to get it working or get it out.
That maybe it, Thanks DTN!

The windows aren't connected to the car's computer. They're just powered by the switches from 12V hot-at-on power.
You should find out what other cool tricks the alarm does. Someone spent some cash to make it do that. You should try other combinations to get it to do other things. I wouldn't remove it.
