Power Window's Retained Accessory Power (RAP)

Post by alex_nrv »

Hello!On the Vibe 2009+, I was wondering if anyone ever tried or successfully "hacked/modded" the Power Window's Retained Accessory Power (RAP)?When you stop the engine and remove the key, you have less than a minute of "reserve" power (RAP) to operate the power windows (power sunroof included). BUT, if ANY door is opened during this 1 minute power reserve, the power shuts down... This is a WEIRD feature to add to a power reserve... because most of the time, when I notice that the dunroof or a window is still opened, it's when I EXIT the vehicule...So I wanted to know if there was any way to bypass this bad feature, being the retained accessory power shutting down when a door is opened?It would be awesome to still be able to operate the windows when I'm out of the vehicule, instead of leaning in, turning the key to "accessory", closing the window(s) and then re-leaning in and removing the key form the ignition...Thanks a lot!

I asked this question right at the wrong moment...! The forum got closed for nearly a whole week right after I asked!
Now, I wonder if anyone has information on this inquiry or not....
