Windows will not roll down and switch panel goes dim.

[pepe88]

After rolling the window down this evening, it would not go back up. None of the windows would go up or down. Also the switch panel went dim. All of the sudden, the switch panel came on bright and the window rolled up. Then the panel went dim again and I did not try to roll the window down again. It's too cold here to be messing with this.

Any ideas?

Did it roll up by itself, or did you push the button?

Oh sorry. It rolled up with me using the switch.

Is it extremely cold in Illinois? It's in the teens here in the Northwest and I've noticed significantly increased battery strain, especially at start-up.

When I give the door a little hit, the switch lights came on strong and the switches worked. I popped the whole thing out and the main connector was barely hanging on. Not snapped in at all. I snapped it in and NO problems now.
